How fitting that the day we recognize Homeless Persons Memorial Day is the Winter Solstice: the day on which those of us in the Northern Hemisphere see the most hours of darkness and the fewest of daylight. We know that access to safe, clean, affordable housing saves lives and repairs communities. It's why we do everything that we do.

What is one step can you take in your complex situation today? People who step in instead of away are my heroes. And my encouragement. The complexity: response to people living outdoors. Why do we do it? How do we do it? Who are the decision makers? Who are the funders? How do we learn from the people living this experience and expand our plans to let them help write them? A few of the hundreds of questions. The step: one household that now lives in a home. A #housingfirst step toward stability, calling on people with passion and dedication, federal funds, donations, and many other resources. It's a huge effort that begins with a "simple" mission of "everyone needs a home." Way to go, CATCH Idaho! Here's to 2024.
See all those tiny houses? 👀 Each one represents a household that is no longer experiencing homelessness 🧡🏠 “2023 was our biggest year yet! We proudly provided housing for a record-breaking 225 households, surpassing our previous record by an astounding 52 households! This monumental achievement marked a significant milestone in our relentless pursuit of making home a reality for every individual in the Treasure Valley.” - Stephanie Day, CATCH Executive Director Huge thank you to our staff, partners, volunteers, supporters, and community for making this work possible. Together, we are, and we will continue, to change lives 🧡🏠 To learn more about our impact last year, visit our website and read our 2023 Annual Report: https://lnkd.in/d9uCeveW

Imagine going months without hearing your own name spoken. Our approach dealing with homelessness goes beyond the simple act of providing food and nourishment. → It's about recognizing their humanity and → Offering them the dignity and respect they deserve. The isolation and invisibility that often come with homelessness can be profoundly dehumanising. When we step out to help, It's not just about fulfilling basic needs But it's about making a genuine connection. → The simple act of acknowledging someone's presence, → Listening to their story, or calling them by their name can make a huge difference. It tells them that they are seen, heard, and valued. → Every smile, → Every conversation, → Every act of kindness helps bridge the gap between us, → Reinforcing that we are all part of the same community. Live Generously Umberto —---- PS. Follow Umberto Rosi for more stories on generosity, and kindness.

Good news we all need to hear. In additions to the apartments and hotels, I would like to see more Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) placed in the backyards of low & fixed income homeowners near bus routes. If we could give prebuilt ADUs to these homeowners in exchange for 10 years of below market long term rents we might address three problems: affordable housing, seniors needing financial help, and loneliness. A third party could provide a master lease to guarantee income to the host and client services to the resident. This third party could use matchmaking processes developed by the BLOCK project (Seattle) to move past traditional landlord-tenant power dynamics. Roughly $100K per pre-built ADU installed is probably more expensive than the almost $43K ($46.8M / 1135) but it could last longer using fractional ownership contracts, public-private partnerships, and social investors (bonds or shares). #accessorydwellingunit #adus #seniorliving #affordablehousing #unhoused #homelessness #housinginsecurity
House 1,000 people living on the street in less than six months. There are people who thought it was impossible, but I knew we had to confront homelessness in a big way if we wanted a big change. 1,135 people came inside in 2023 because of this goal. They have food, beds, showers and access to services that will get them back on their feet. This is a historic moment for, and we’re just getting started.

Empowering Community Initiatives through Strategic Leadership, Program Design Excellence, and Equity Advocacy. Building Stronger Communities Together.
As we strive for a more equitable society, it's crucial to acknowledge and address the challenges faced by individuals experiencing homelessness. One vital tool in this effort is the Point in Time Count (PIT), a biennial census that provides crucial insights into the scale and nature of homelessness in our community. The significance of the PIT count cannot be overstated. By capturing a snapshot of homelessness over two nights, we gain invaluable data to inform policy-making, allocate resources effectively, and tailor interventions to meet the unique needs of different populations. #advocacy #datadrivensolutions #socialchange
Photos and a video from Sacramento's 2024 unsheltered PIT Count provide a glimpse into the incredible effort of our community in acknowledging those experiencing homelessness at bit.ly/2024PITCount. Stay tuned for the comprehensive report this spring. 📷: Aaron Yabes
