Office of Mayor Rex Richardson’s Post

We manage more than 1,200 doors in Central Indiana. Our move-out count for the end of this month? Eight. 😲 Yes, eight Residents are moving out in January, or .67%. Even when we were 1/3 this size, we almost always had more than 8 move-outs in a given month. As we've discussed, people are generally staying put. This is great for Landlords with occupied homes and not great for Landlords who need vacancies filled. #indianapolisrealestate

Not even a six-figure salary is enough to compel Gen Z to go down the embattled law enforcement path, the latest figures show. In San Francisco, the issue is particularly acute, only 26 people graduated from the Californian city’s police academy and entered the force in 2023—down 72% from 2019, marking the lowest tally in at least a decade. At the same time, San Francisco’s officer headcount has fallen 13% since 2020 from over 1,800 staffers to just under 1,600 in 2023. In a desperate bid to bolster its force, the city has now upped its salary for new starters to $112,398, the highest for rookie cops in big U.S. cities. Read more: https://lnkd.in/ezUT9psA

"Work harder." = You'll need to work 2.9 jobs and bring in $88k to support the basic housing costs for a 2 bedroom fair market rate unit in Adams County. Eighty-eight THOUSAND dollars/year for the bare minimum. To have shelter in a space you'll maybe spend 6 hours in per day. (nevermind all of the other things society expects, "have more children," "be more positive," "remain resilient..."). This math ain't mathin' and it hasn't been for decades now. If we could work or build our way out of housing insecurity, instability and injustice, we'd have done so long ago. The answer includes so many "both ands" I'm exhausted just thinking about it. As a community, we have to do things differently than ever before and with an urgency, vibrancy, and transparency unseen before. The answer is D: all of the above on that scantron. Thank you National Low Income Housing Coalition for these metrics. Behind these devastating and frankly irresponsible numbers, are humans who can adjust their viewpoints, empathy, knowledge and humanity to the basic rights each of us should be afforded. #nlihc #outofreach #housingcrisis #humanrights #civilrights #humanity #sdoh #healthoutcomes #fairhousing #anythingispossible

When people talk about 9000 outstanding Assessment of Needs, you only have to look at the vacancy rate across the CDNTs to see why it is so, but also remember that the supposed 100% staffing levels were insufficient in the first place which is why so many staff have left or are avoiding posts there. There is not a problem with the system, the system is broken. https://lnkd.in/e4JMkKh6

If the purpose is worthwhile, and no one is joining the team, the leaders have to ask the question, “are we creating a culture, that will prosper, and help us meet our aspirations “. Or have we become so delivery driven, that we have ignored the most significant element, in people organisations, being leaders of people. We forget that, you cannot deliver, without the people. In Mindsmith Thinking, that is the reason we focus on this much neglected area of Leadership. Let us know if we can help.
