Collaboration. That’s Dove House’s theme for 2024. Here’s why: Last quarter alone, Dove House served 79 women between our two locations in Marion County and Dubois County, with 70% of clients successfully discharged. Of those who were discharged, nearly 20% moved on to our Steps to Success Program, where Dove House provides rent assistance for housing while they continue to receive case management and recovery support from our team. Staying connected is so valuable for long-term success—and that’s exactly what our Doves are doing! The results speak for themselves: financial stability, reunification with children, safe and affordable housing, and genuine self-sufficiency. Community support and partnerships are essential to achieving these incredible outcomes. It’s no wonder our CEO lights up when she talks about Dove House. Tune in to today's episode of Wednesdays with Wendy Noe for a look at what to expect throughout the year. #collaboration #WednesdaysWithWendy #CEO #reunification #financialstability #selfsufficiency #housing

For Charlie: A long view on the housing omnicrisis This new blog provides a long view of our present national housing challenges. It shows how housing - social, rented, owned - has changed over the last generation and what the key issues are today. Viewed through the eyes of an 8 year old (Charlie), what has changed? Housing can be complicated as it includes many different issues and because so much commentary is about short-term movements in house prices or house building. I've tried to take a step back and provide an overview on the longer term trends and shifts. Also, I have an 8 year old and I wonder what her housing prospects will be when she grows up? You can read the blog from the weblink in comments below... #housing

In a world where the cost of living seems to constantly be on the rise, the importance of affordable housing cannot be overstated. It's a fundamental human need, yet for many, it remains frustratingly out of reach. However, amidst the challenges, there lies a beacon of hope: community building and the power of giving. These two forces, when combined, can raise the roof on affordable housing and transform lives in the process.

The Little BIG Foundation's recent research has unveiled some eye-opening insights into our neighbourhood dynamics when a Little BIG community is fostered. 🔍 In just 12 months, there has been an 18% increase in people in the Summer Hill Little BIG community confidently saying they know their neighbours by name. 💙 The study also revealed that 59% of individuals feel they have strong enough relationships with their neighbours to rely on them for assistance, such as bringing in groceries or lending a helping hand in times of need (compared to 48% nationally). This speaks volumes about the untapped potential for building a supportive and tight-knit community. Remember, those friendly hellos over the fence or a simple act of kindness all contribute to the fabric of a stronger, more resilient community.

What would it mean to you as a local community, if you had ownership and control of your own permanently affordable housing portfolio, that was also designed to the specific needs of your community… For the people, by the people? How would you feel as a community knowing that you not only had a voice at the table in the shaping of your local built environment, but you were the people behind the wheel, sitting in the drivers seat? How transformational would it be for your community to be able to generate generational equity and wealth, for the future of your people? "A community land trust is a non-profit organisation that holds title to property to deliver permanently affordable housing and community benefit. To ensure they meet the needs of the community they serve, CLTs are characterised by active voting memberships that include, but are not limited to, residents of the CLT’s homes.  In addition to permanently affordable homes that can be rental through to ownership, many CLTs also steward a range of community, open space, and/or commercial properties in response to local need."- The Australian Community land Trust Network I say… Let's put away all this silliness of power, privilege, and prestige, and get everyone, young and old, around the table to talk about our future together While we are at it, let's get someone, or everyone, to stand in as a voice for the local natural world as well Let's envision a future that we can all share, while sharing in its design, its development, its capacity to be a force for change towards more respect and reciprocity, for caring and community, for shared and self love Today, we launched our National Association for Community Land Trusts website as a free resource to the Nation… Tomorrow, we get to work restructuring its built environment towards a model of civilisation fit for you, your family, and your community, fit for us as custodians of this living world https://lnkd.in/gvh3aisM #regenerativedevelopment #clt's #communitydevelopment #regionaldevelopment #australia #housing #affordablehousing
