🚨 **Emergency Response Alert!** 🚨 Street signs are not just pointers on the road; they are lifesavers in times of need.

Ensure your street signs are visible and well-maintained. Together, we can create a safer community for everyone. #EmergencyResponse #StreetSignsSaveLives #VisibleSignsMatter #SafetyFirst #CommunityCare #SwiftHelp #SignsOfSafety #lifesavers

As many of my friends leave the US for less expensive countries with a higher quality of life, I spend much time speaking with single women who are terrified of being homeless. According to a 2023 report from the Department of Health and Human Services, older adults are the fastest-growing age group of people experiencing homelessness, making up almost half of the homeless population. Many elderly Americans live on a fixed income, with 90 percent of adults over 65 receiving a Social Security benefit. However, research suggests that older women are more likely to be living in poverty than older men due to a lifetime of discrimination that included unpaid or paid work. The US government is well aware of the lack of affordable housing. The lists that people can sign up to for consideration for an affordable spot can be a long wait--up to 10 years. I spoke with an Atlanta-based property developer who told me his company would lose money if it created affordable properties. The increase in COGs makes this almost impossible. That's it? We just allow elders who have been active in our country, most of whom have paid taxes and created good in their communities, to live under bridges. Doesn't seem right, does it? How would it feel to see your former neighbor, grandparent, or even elementary school teacher push a grocery cart around? For the next 10 years, all Baby Boomers will have turned 65+. The research shows that ageism blocks these folks from getting better employment than being a Walmart greeter. (sorry Walmart greeters) The tiny house community in Texas with affordable homes for formerly homeless people is a great solution. A similar solution could be created in every state. Spread the word. https://lnkd.in/ey2wt2QW

Why is Set To Thrive important to our vulnerable children?  Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs is a psychological theory that categorizes human needs into a five-tier pyramid. At the base are the physiological needs, including essentials like food, water, clothes, and shelter. Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs shows the critical need of Set To Thrive in our community. Set To Thrive’s mission is to provide children experiencing foster care and homelessness with new essential items (clothing, shoes, hygiene products, and more) to bring comfort and confidence during a vulnerable time. We are proud to be able to partner with other organizations in our community that work to meet all the needs of our youth and get them to a place where they can be comfortable, confident, and thrive.  Thank you Bombas, Project Glimmer, One Warm Coat, Bloc Bags for partnering with Set To Thrive.  We are always looking for corporate partners to help us make an even bigger impact.   Let’s make an impact together for our local children experiencing foster care and homelessness.  #communityengagement #fostercareawareness #homelessnessawareness #contracosta #alamedacounty #trivalley

One of the most amazing parts of this career, being able to provide security of housing. Not enough, never enough, but contributing to positive change is so powerful

What seed of growth are you harvesting during 2024? Could it be planting more quality time with family? Community engagement through volunteerism, perhaps visiting your local nursing home? Whatever seed of growth you harvest for 2024, may it heirloom. Drop a seed of growth in the comments section. #seedsofgrowth #homeiswheretheheartis #gardenofimpact

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live in a small trailer? Well, two individuals' stories might just give you some insight. Their experiences are thought-provoking and perhaps even a bit scary, especially for those of us who could find ourselves just around the corner living on the street. As Robert Karron rightly points out, here, "What a large percentage of the unhoused population needs is just affordable housing." Let's continue to work towards finding solutions to this critical issue. #EndHomlessness #AffordableHousingForAll #HousingIsARight #PositiveImpactArchitect
