I had the pleasure of sitting in on a panel discussion last week with the Chief of Police, Director of Violence Prevention, and new Circuit Attorney for St. Louis. My takeaways were of hope and confidence that we can and we will advance forward. There are plenty of low hanging wins we can knock out, which are well underway, but for the more complex, it comes back to remembering the humanness in those committing violence and those affected by it. If I had to sum up the key theme of their talking points is it all comes back to the intersection of justice and human dignity. Increasing the presence of enforcement and prosecuting offenders is definitely needed and should never be taken for granted, but it’s also about pathways for people to find stability and the answer to their future in our community through work and investment in themselves rather than turning to violence as a means to their end. It means making sure that kid who grows up in a broken family knows he is loved by all of us and that there are paths for him to get a job where he’s seen as a valued employee with a future and not just a number on a spreadsheet. It’s ensuring he can pay rent, have access to quality food, healthcare, to feel safe to go for a morning run, to have enough cash on the side for play and leisure, to get to and from work without burning out simply on the effort that comes from a lack of connectivity in urban environments, the list goes on and on. Seeing ourselves in everyone we meet and meeting them with love and dignity is key to progress. It’s the key to inspiring new ideas that enhance our cities and foster resiliency. When we lead with a desire to give every soul the opportunity to benefit from a foundation of basic human needs, that’s when you’ll start seeing change beyond measure. Challenge the status quo, invest in your people, and Never, Never, Never Give Up! #AdvanceSTL #CrimePrevention #CommunityInvestment #JusticeAndDignity #StLouisStrong #PublicSafety #UrbanDevelopment #ViolencePrevention #CommunityPolicing #SocialJustice #EconomicOpportunity #MentalHealthAwareness #YouthEmpowerment #AffordableHousing #SustainableCommunities #PeaceAndJustice #NeverGiveUp

Did You Know: California's Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) covers housing providers, forbidding discrimination or harassment based on protected characteristics. The Unruh Civil Rights Act applies to businesses and prevents discrimination against customers. Discriminatory actions include refusing to sell or rent housing, denying inspections when available, and canceling agreements.

Sampson and Wilson (1995) bring to light the significant role of structural factors, like residential segregation, in influencing crime rates, challenging us to rethink our approach to urban planning and community support. How can integrating this knowledge into our professional practices help address the root causes of crime and foster safer, more equitable communities? I invite you to share your perspectives and experiences in creating impactful change. #UrbanPlanning #CommunitySupport #StructuralInequality #CrimePrevention #EquitableCommunities #SocialJustice #UrbanInequality #CriminologyInsights #ProfessionalPractice #SaferCommunities

The KQED coverage of Gavin Newsom's executive orders following the US Supreme Court ruling in Grants Pass to prioritize and clear unhoused encampments on state property offered an insightful and balanced range of perspectives. It’s true that government spending has significantly increased in response to issues related to encampments and those living on our community streets. As a government worker who has dedicated over 16 years to this work, I, along with the radio guests, believe that local jurisdictions are making an honest effort to deploy the most effective supportive services with the resources they have, and that no one deserves to be unhoused. This leaves me with a few major questions: 1. How will local jurisdictions enforce what is a seemingly nuanced order and be held accountable for integrating these efforts with systems of care like Whole Person Care? 2. Why do we remain fiscally reactive to homelessness rather than adequately investing in our health and behavioral health infrastructure and preventative solutions like permanent supportive housing? Is there a disconnect between local resource and government jurisdiction? Who does housing scarcity protect?
