On Wednesday, February 7th, the Red Oak DEI Action Committee hosted a special screening of the documentary, A Rising Tide. The film reveals, through the eyes of children and their families, the survival strategies they are forced to endure while struggling with homelessness in Alameda County. The film also shares the work and the challenges faced by local service providers, shedding light on the “helping industry” that has developed from the housing crisis here in the East Bay.

In case one needed more evidence that Housing First is a failure with catastrophic results, please read the attached article. Housing First is two things: 1. a repositioning from a continuum of options for all people to PSH for chronically homelessness only and 2. an eligibility screen that excludes children & PREVENTS PREVENTION and early intervention. We can - we must - restore the Awardwinning Continuum of Care.

If there’s one thing we know about Tulsans, it’s that we show up for each other. Homelessness is a community-wide issue and will require community-based solutions to solve it. The work that A Way Home for Tulsa partner agencies are doing is working to get Tulsans housed, but more of that work is needed, requiring more resources and community commitment to address this critical issue. Learn more about the impact of A Way Home for Tulsa’s work at https://lnkd.in/gBWXVmdY.

In a landscape characterized by disconnection and isolation, partnership and collaboration are what drive successful outcomes.
This week, we got the call: DESC had beds open at The Gateway Emergency Shelter and could we help fill them? We immediately connected with Aurora Commons, another community partner, and between their clients and ours we were able to get 9 people off the streets of North Seattle in less than 36 hours. LCP's integrated partnership approach continues to benefit the wider landscape of homelessness service providers, and our clients are the ones who benefit most of all with speedier and more integrated service offerings. Thank you, DESC (Downtown Emergency Service Center) and Aurora Commons for your fast-acting work, and commitment to collaborative, community partnerships. #community #homelesslivesmatter

Got a roof over your head? Who will sort out homelessness? Matt Hancock, Boris Johnson, Queen Camilla, Prince William? My reality TV fantasy world puts these four figures in the spotlight! to political pressure from the government and charities, with funding being provided by the government (and others) on an ad-hoc basis. The UK government has cut funding to local authorities and local authorities feel forced to reduce services for people experiencing homelessness. It is feared this will increase the numbers of rough sleepers and increase the numbers dying while sleeping rough.[ A member of the public who is concerned that someone is sleeping on the streets can report the individual's details via the Street Link website or by calling its hotline. Someone who finds themselves sleeping on the streets can also report their situation using the same methods. The service aims to respond within 24 hours, including an assessment of the individual circumstances and an offer of temporary accommodation for the following nights. The response typically includes a visit to the rough sleeper early in the morning that follows the day or night. https://lnkd.in/eHZ3tR-F
