We must do better — Pallet is a start! #LVGPortfolioCompany
"There are hundreds of people that are without shelter right now. You can see them in tents, along bike paths .... We have to be able to do better than that. We can't accept people living in tents or outside, in fact dying." This quote from the Rhode Island news report is devastating—and infuriating. Bureaucratic red tape is delaying the opening of emergency shelters while people are forced to sleep outside in the cold. This isn’t just a policy failure; it’s a failure of basic human decency. I am proud of our portcolio company Pallet, led by CEO + Founder Amy King, which refuses to accept the status quo. Their dignified, rapidly deployable shelters have already helped more than 100 communities move people from the streets into safety—in days, not months. There is no excuse for inaction when solutions like this exist. This is why we invested. This is why we advocate. Because housing is a human right. #LVGPortfolio #PalletShelter #FemaleFounded #EndHomelessness #HousingFirst #DignifiedHousing
