An interesting article highlighting the explosion of homelessness in Brisbane. The coming elections will be won or lost on the priorities of the parties. We need to start factoring in a shelter first approach and transitional spaces to get people off the streets and into a safe and secure environment where people can access services and pathways out of homelessness. We need to put saving lives and changing lives as a priority. #homelesness #emptyspaces #savinglives #changinglives

Before we shift the discussion to rural homelessness in tomorrow's episode, here's a few numbers to know. 5.6 million. That's how many rural households spend 30% (another important number) of their income on rent. Affordable rural housing is one of the many things discussed in this episode. Our thanks to Housing Assistance Council and National Center for Healthy Housing (NCHH) for sharing their expertise. https://bit.ly/3UeieQP

🏠 It’s #AffordableHousingMonth – A crucial time to address the dire shortage of affordable housing contributing to rising rates of homelessness. With just 24 units of affordable housing available to every 100 extremely low-income households, countless Californians are being priced out of the communities they’ve lived and worked in for decades. Our top 3 recs for addressing this shortage: 1. Boost affordable housing production 2. Expand rental assistance 3. Make subsidies work better Any solution to homelessness must address the lack of affordable housing for extremely low-income households. Let’s build a stable foundation for the strong vibrant communities we all want to live in. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gEm44RVT #HousingCrisis #EndHomelessness #HousingForAll #PolicyChange

We need more housing, not more taxes on housing. Legislatures need to engage with developers and property managers to find solutions for addressing the short supply of affordable rental units.
"The chief driver of homelessness in U.S. cities is inadequate housing supply. Thus, any plan to reduce homelessness requires increasing the supply of all types of housing, particularly affordable housing." https://buff.ly/3w710eq

I am excited to share an insightful op-ed that delves into the pressing issue of homelessness and homeless encampments (HE). Abdulrasheed Dawodu, MBA provides a comprehensive analysis of the challenges cities face, particularly in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has exacerbated homelessness. Abdulrasheed explores the major causes of homelessness and HE, such as poverty, inadequate affordable housing, and unemployment, and discusses the potential safety and environmental hazards posed by HE. Abdulrasheed Dawodu, MBA highlights innovative approaches some cities have adopted to address these issues, such as Philadelphia's Encampment Resolution Program and California's Encampment Resolution Strategy and Protocol. Abdulrasheed also discusses the move towards legislation authorizing city-sanctioned encampments, which ensure the safety of the dwellers and help regulate the spread of hazard-prone and unauthorized HE around the cities. This piece is a must-read for anyone interested in urban planning, social services, and the multifaceted issues surrounding homelessness. It offers valuable insights and potential solutions that could guide our efforts towards creating more resilient cities with vibrant and safe neighborhoods.

One of the most pressing challenges governments face globally is tackling homelessness. Planners play a pivotal role in addressing both immediate and long-term needs through innovative planning strategies. Emphasis on developing affordable housing is crucial, but it must be complemented by efforts to create pathways for economic advancement. By utilizing both Esri Canada and recently acquired Ratio.City technology, planners can shape policies that foster inclusive communities for all. #Homelessness #CommunityDevelopment #GIS #UrbanPlanning Explore strategies for homelessness mitigation here: https://lnkd.in/g2HvqEHw
