We are delighted to share that Cloudburst's Heather Duchscherer, Senior Technical Assistance Provider on the Housing and Community Development team, is attending the 2024 National Alliance to End Homelessness Conference (NAEH), 7/8 - 7/10, in Washington, D.C. Heather provides training and technical assistance to communities so that their homeless response systems are accessible, racially equitable, trauma-informed, and effective in permanently housing community members. The NAEH Conference is bringing together service providers, system leaders, advocates, and people with lived experience of homelessness to learn from each other, discuss best practices, and share new innovations in the field.

In the aftermath of a devastating tornado in 2011, Joplin, Missouri, faced unprecedented challenges, including a surge in homelessness. Recognizing the need for a comprehensive plan, the City contracted Sharity Global to develop a strategic roadmap. The Need: With much of Joplin's affordable housing destroyed, addressing homelessness became a priority. Sharity was engaged to develop a comprehensive plan, fostering input from citizens, organizations, and service providers. Our Approach: Through community-wide surveys, focus groups, ride-alongs, and interviews, Sharity is facilitating meaningful dialogue and community participation to create impactful solutions. The Result: Over 1,000 community members participated in surveys, and numerous focus groups and interviews were conducted. The project is actively progressing towards a final strategic plan.

The Diverse Needs of Those Living in Outdoor Encampments!

Social Scientist | Planning, Economic Development, Housing | I help government, companies and social service agencies improve the quality of life for their residents.
Curious about housing, homelessness, planning, community development (as a concept) and the policies & decisions surrounding these issues? Here are a few books I have found that have helped me gain a better and deeper understanding (and could perhaps help you) of where we've gone wrong, and where we can course correct to make better informed decisions to create improved opportunities and living conditions for our neighbors, friends, loved ones and other humans we share this space with: 1. Color of Law (Richard Rothstein) 2. Homelessness is a Housing Problem (Gregg Colburn/Clayton Aldern) 3. The Sum Of Us (Heather McGhee) 4. Fixer- Upper (Jenny Schuetz) 5. The Warmth Of Other Suns (Isabel Wilkerson) 6. How the Other Half Lives (Jacob A. Riis) 7. Yes to the City (Max Holleran) Any other suggestions? Leave them in the comments. Happy reading...and also; anyone have a housing reading group? I'm looking to read, contribute, and join!

NEW: Today we are launching Stay Housed Bay Area—a first-of-its-kind regional platform connecting community members with resources to get help paying their rent, responding to eviction notices, or asserting their rights as tenants. At All Home, we know that to solve homelessness, we must get better at stopping it before it happens. That's why we're advancing a regional homelessness prevention strategy to keep people in their homes, and Stay Housed Bay Area is a vital part of it. Very excited to put this collaboration with One Degree | 1degree.org into the world. “Now, no matter where you are, there’s one simple place where you can find the best help that’s available in your area.” Read more in the SF Chronicle.
New website seeks to create unified list of Bay Area resources to keep people housed
