Government & Technology’s Top 25 for 2024 Bringing advocacy and innovation to the forefront for an accessible future. Public Affairs Specialist, U.S. Access Board. PhD student: Organizational Leadership
All the yes on this 🙌. As someone who has faced both addiction and housing insecurities, I assure you trauma is the gateway. I do believe because we do not talk about it or share of how recovery is possible because of shame and stigma, how hope is not gone, the cycles continue. It is why I recover outloud. No human should ever be seen as a blight because they are experiencing homelessness. They are mothers, fathers, siblings, children. They ARE Philadelphians. When we say “let’s cleanup our streets and rid the neighborhood of the unhoused so we don’t have to look at it” as we’re seeing this harmful rhetoric growing recently, you are talking about your neighbors, someone’s child, someone’s family, a fellow Philadelphian. When we say those in addiction or experiencing homelessness are unworthy or unwanted, you forget that we DO recover, that if there is breath in our lungs, hope is not lost. 8 years and 2 months of life I’ve gotten to live in recovery, so when you see them as disposable, you see me, this PhD researcher, mother, daughter, sister, and nationally recognized executive leader as disposable. I AM the face of addiction. Imagine what might be possible if we all had equitable access to care and resources? I long for a city that cares for ALL of its citizens. Instead of “ridding ourselves” of the unhoused let’s rid ourselves of the barriers to healthcare, mental health services, food security, housing and employment. Human beings are not disposable elements to be swept away for your comfort. Sweep our streets of the inequities, not people. #weDOrecover #NotThrowawayPeople #addressTheTrauma

Employment Services & Career Guidance for Americas Veterans. Affordable Housing Advocate http:tinyhomeownership.org
Powerful message about our current approach to homelessness and the paradigm shift we must consider to truly make substantial changes. We currently place unrealistic barriers on our homeless population in our attempt to assist them. The Department of Veterans Affairs believes in the "Housing First Model" which recognizes the path to dealing with life's challenges is considerably easier when you start with shelter. The same theory Maslow coined in 1943 is still relevant today #hierarcyofneeds #housingfirst

Outstanding Detroit! This article discusses how organizations within the city of Detroit are addressing veteran homelessness. I got me thinking about the current state of veteran homelessness in Arizona. Does anyone here have any insights on the number of homeless vets in the state and if there are organizations (other than theCRRC) like the ones mentioned in this article that are actively involved in addressing this issue?

Housing First is the key to solving homelessness - but for those cities with expensive housing they need to solve the supply problem to solve the Housing problem. Cities must remove supply barriers for all supply and incentivize the type of housing they need (ie: capital “A” Affordable and mixed income) then allow the private market to go to work (usually in public private partnerships)
Very proud of the work the CFTH and the Houston Community is doing to address homelessness. https://lnkd.in/gx2ZB_MF
