Your home address is a privilege. Not just your home. The address itself. Have you ever thought about that? I definitely had not, until my eyes were opened wide at Unfaulted's volunteer training. Every day, I take simple things for granted that people who age out of foster care may not have. One of those things is a home address, because a number of them end up homeless. Lack of shelter is a major issue, but so is lack of an address. How do you apply for jobs? Where do you receive government documents? How do you open a bank account? That's just the tip of the iceberg. Have you ever thought about how much your family provided a support system during college? How much of what you learned about job hunting / college / life in general came from them? Even if it didn't come from them, what are the odds you were introduced to the person that taught you through your family? That doesn't even touch the unimaginable trauma these individuals endured before and inside the system. Share this post to raise awareness. Support Unfaulted and like-minded organizations who help people who age out of the system.

Meet the SALT Storage Bus! 🚌 For people experiencing homelessness, not having a place to store your belongings can be a huge barrier to moving forward. When going to job interviews, medical appointments, seeing a case manager etc., many people have to try to hide their belongings and hope they don’t get stolen. Many times their belongings do go missing and they have to start over again 😔 That’s why SALT offers storage services. We will be expanding our storage services to Bithlo. People in encampments and sleeping outside could store belongings for a certain period of time while they take important steps toward ending their homelessness. (Coming at a later phase in our expansion! Hoping to get this service fully operational soon before the end of the year 😌) #endhomeless #saltoutreach #serviceandlovetogether #salt #bithlo #orlando #centralfl #unhoused #unsheltered #storage #safestorage #breakingbarriers #storagebus

Hate to say it, but it's the truth: Summer is creeping to an end. People are starting to think ahead to back-to-school shopping, fall trips, and those last weekends camping or chilling at the cottage. Something we hope you are also planning would be autumn volunteering. As the post-summer routines go back to the familiar, take a moment to consider how you can be helpful to an agency that needs more hands to operate. There are groups looking for in-school volunteers to assist with feeding students, or after-school programs who need a few more adults in the room. Fall youth sports will need coaches. Let's also start thinking about those who have far less who are in for a rough time this fall and winter. As you start bringing out your cold weather clothes to start adding to your wardrobe for seasonal changes, make sure that anything that's not fitting or you don't feel like keeping gets donated to one of our many thrift shops or collection groups for the disadvantaged. Seasonal shifts are coming. Plan to make the best of them and maybe lend a hand to those who need it. Check our opportunities page today! https://buff.ly/3rsamzk Let's make this Volunteer Autumn! #PlanAhead #VolunteerAutumn #PumplinSpiceSeasonIsComing #YouthVolunteering #CommunityBuilding #VolunteersNeeded

Data has driven SALT’s growth from the beginning 📊 We started with surveys. As we completed surveys with people experiencing homelessness it gave us clear directions. Before getting our first shower trailer, we found out half of the people we served were actively looking for work but didn’t have regular access to a shower. Some looking for work hadn’t showered in three months. Your support makes a difference! With shelters full, and housing programs full, our guests have no choice but to try to find a job while living outside. A shower not only meets a basic need but it gives them a fighting chance at finding a job. In turn it gives them greater hope, and a greater chance, at moving into housing! #endhomelessness #salt #saltoutreach #serviceandlovetogether #showers #shower #showersforthehomeless #showertrailer #datadriven #orlando #centralfl #unhoused #homelessness #unsheltered

🌟 Transforming Lives Through Employment 🌟 At Arch Angel Initiatives, we are inspired by the incredible efforts of local organizations in providing employment opportunities for homeless individuals.

Veteran Housing Corp says that IF YOU ARE NOT PART OF A PERMANENT AND LASTING SOLUTION TO THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING CRISIS AND HOMELESSNESS, YOU ARE THE PROBLEM! THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX IS BROKEN AND NOT WORKING FOR AMERICAN TAXPAYERS Veteran Housing Corp would ask every TAXPAYER to demand and get answers from their elected and appointed government officials the below questions as they relate to any affordable, workforce, or supportive housing project in your community! 1. How much local, state, and federal funding, tax credits, or other government benefits or incentives did the project receive? 2. What is the affordability period for each project? Is the affordability period permanent and in perpetuity? 3. What guarantees exist have your local, state, and federal government officials obtained in writing that rents will not go up or that tenants will not be displaced or evicted after the "affordability period expires? Every local, state, and federal housing authority and affordable or workforce housing stakeholder should adopt the State of Vermont's "permanent affordability" policy as a model for all future government funded or subsidized housing projects or developments, no exceptions! https://lnkd.in/eFEUC8c8 Additionally, local, state and federal housing agencies should look to the Helsinki, FINLAND MODEL of ending homelessness by providing affordable housing for all 'It’s a miracle': Helsinki's radical solution to homelessness https://lnkd.in/er9HZSQU Even the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development AGREES THAT adopting FINLAND'S MODEL OF ERADICATING HOMELESSNESS may be of great value to resolving the affordable housing and homelessness crises in America https://lnkd.in/gkSZWYRU

CommUNITY Talk The pressure of the cost of living is real, and it's impacting many in our community. There have been several incidents of theft targeting produce at our local businesses and restaurants. These incidents sometimes involve local individuals who are genuinely struggling to cope with the high cost of living. We must find compassion and better ways to support each other during these challenging times without resorting to theft. Small businesses are owned and operated by individuals who are already facing financial challenges, such as paying their shop rent, staff, bills, school fees, mortgages/rent, and other expenses. Stealing from them is not acceptable as it not only damages them financially but also affects their ability to support themselves and their families, and employ our kids. As a community, let's come together to support those in need and our local businesses and find positive solutions to our challenges. If you or someone you know is struggling, there are resources available to help navigate tough times without causing harm to others. Noosa Council Go to: https://lnkd.in/gsKrbW99 Shout out to Noosa Community Noticeboard, Anne-Marie Howarth and Oz Bayldon for being part of the solution.
