Youth homelessness poses significant barriers to stable employment due to lack of documentation, discrimination, and support networks. Initiatives offering vocational training, wraparound services, and mentorship are crucial in providing homeless youth with skills and support needed for employment. Advocacy efforts are essential in addressing systemic issues. Together, these approaches can break down barriers and create pathways to employment for homeless youth. #YouthHomelessness #EmploymentOpportunities #VocationalTraining #SupportServices #Mentorship #Advocacy #BreakingBarriers #HomelessYouth #Empowerment

When I experienced my own bout of long-term unemployment during the economic downturn of 2008/9, like many of you, I never expected to be out of work for so long and face downward mobility for the first time. This experience led me to advocate for older adults in similar situations. But advocacy is only the first step; action is crucial. NUUage is a manifestation of this action step. It’s mission is to offer cost-effective coliving housing with shared amenities and tailored services to assist older adults aging independently on moderate incomes. #Advocacy #RetirementCrisis #NUUageColiving #SharedHousing #CommunityLiving #Affordablehousing #seniors #Coliving

Laura Riley University of California, Berkeley - School of Law "#Homeless #Advocacy [#published2023] #examines #the #role #legal #advocacy #plays #in #preventing #and #ending #homelessness.

It is slightly challenging #Advocacy #Planning is suggested to transfer the planning function from advisory to determining social values and viewing planning as a social process. Support in planning is a maximalist solidarity process involving comprehensive policies that aim to accommodate the diverse wishes of the people. In this city planning model, the lack of a common language between the city planner and the residents necessitates the creation of #Social #Guidance, fostering #Active #Community discourse for cooperative decision-making. So, #Social #Training has been proposed. It aims to foster a connection and interaction between city planners and the community. Thus, people will be involved in decision-making and assessment of urban planning by people's councils and cooperative groups with city planners (John Friedman). Creating a two-way link in today's society is challenging due to the differing knowledge of city planners and the public. This challenge can be addressed through a two-way training process where there is a continuous exchange between the city planner, working groups, and councils. #Advocacy_ Planning  #Social_ Guidance #Social _Training #Active_ Community
