As we mark #HungerAndHomelessnessAwarenessWeek, it's a crucial time to reflect on the systemic challenges driving homelessness and the importance of sustainable solutions. One resource we highly recommend is "Homelessness is a Housing Problem" by Gregg Colburn and Clayton Page Aldern. This insightful book debunks common misconceptions about homelessness, highlighting how housing market dynamics, affordability, and policy play pivotal roles. At Homes for America, we witness these challenges every day in our work to create and sustain #AffordableHousing. The research in this book reinforces our belief that tailored, community-focused housing solutions are key to addressing homelessness and creating lasting change. ??

We all recognize the vital role that first responders play in times of crisis. But did you know that housing leaders are?pre-responders?in the fight against climate change? Joshua Saks?from the?Georgetown Climate Center?shared his powerful insight during our Mid-Atlantic Resilience Academy’s recent launch. Seventeen housing developers, owners, and operators gathered in person for the start of an eight-week training program designed to equip them with the knowledge, tools, and resources to reduce climate risks in their region. https://lnkd.in/g6UBBtMq “Housing is on the front line of climate defense,” said Saks. “As climate change makes the world increasingly risky, you provide people with something that every person deserves?–?a safe place to call home.” Affordable Homes & Communities (AHC) A Peace of Mind Counseling Services, LLC Better Housing Coalition C.O.R.A.L.

At Homes for America, we’re dedicated to developing communities that can provide veterans with stability and support. Today, we recognize that honoring veterans is not only about words but about ensuring they have access to housing that strengthens their well-being and secures their future.
