Safe and secure housing is essential for everyone. York Region’s 10-year housing and homelessness plan outlines how we are working with community partners and all levels of government to build complete communities with a full range of supports to help people find and keep housing. Housing Solutions: A place for everyone sets out three goals: increase the supply of affordable and rental housing, help people find and keep housing, and strengthen the housing and homelessness system. Learn about the progress we made in 2023 and highlights from the last five years, as work is underway to develop a new 10-year housing and homelessness plan: https://lnkd.in/gBNywTWv

UCSF Benioff Homelessness & Housing Initiative Margot Kushel MD is hitting ALL the marks regarding our homelessness crisis: 🎯 "...homelessness rates are tied to the disconnect between income and housing costs for the lowest-income households." 🎯 "...increasing federal funding alone will not solve the country’s homelessness crisis. The most successful efforts have required extraordinary coordination between funding agencies, decision-making bodies and service providers. " 🎯 "This crisis is solvable. Ensuring that people have housing that they can afford – through higher income, lower rents and dedicated rental assistance, as well as access to appropriate services – is essential."

"Congress provided funding, community leaders and business owners rallied together, and we had a laser-like focus on solutions that could keep people out of shelters and off the streets and get them quickly into a home." - Shaun Donovan Mr. Donovan is right: we do know how to fight it. We need to come together an do it. Partnerships and Alliances, good bipartisan legislation that includes supplemental rent programs and financial supports to for profit & nonprofit mission-driven developers (like MORE, Inc) will reduce homelessness and build our communities, securing the future of countless families who, despite how strong the economy presents, are still living paycheck to paycheck without enough for a rainy day. #affordablehousing #missingmiddle #nonprofits #nonprofitfundraising #communitydevelopment #communityimpact #worksmarternotharder #bettertogether #alliances #more2build #endhomelessness #housingforall #housingfirst #permanentsupportivehousing #psh #missiondriven #emergingdeveloperofcolor

Earlier this week, we headed to Lambeth Town Hall with other homelessness organisations and local authority representatives to share our solutions to the housing crisis that’s leaving young people unable to escape homelessness. The current housing system is broken, and our new research sheds a light on how government support simply doesn’t reflect the realities of finding a home if you’re a young person who has experienced homelessness. It’s time to act. Young people need housing security – and they need it now. That means more affordable homes, Local Housing Allowance that actually matches rising rents, and laws that protect vulnerable young people from discrimination by landlords and deal with the scourge of unsafe and unliveable homes.

#housingfirst From article...A Housing First approach can be successful for any person, regardless of actual or perceived need, provided that the resources that they need and choose are available and accessible to them. Fundamentally, Housing First means using a trauma-informed approach to meet people where they are, without preconditions or mandatory requirements. It means continuously engaging and being able to respond to what they say they need when they are ready. #evidence #humanrights #homelessness
Housing First is just the first step! We must ensure we genuinely understand Housing First to combat harmful rhetoric and anti-Housing First practices. Check out this informative blog from my colleague Marcy Thompson. Please share with anyone fighting to end homelessness.

1moSome great weekend reading for me as we tackle this important issue in #ldnont I had the privilege of working on the Provincial Homelessness Strategy some years ago and know the countless hours the Region must have invested in moving initiatives forward. Kudos to you and the York Region (The Regional Municipality of York) team for your work in the space.
