Veteran Housing Corp reminds you that #HOMELESSNESS IS THE RESULT OF DECADES OF THE FAILURE TO BUILD AFFORDABLE HOUSING FOR ALL. THE HISTORY AND PRESENT STATE OF THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX IN AMERICA CAN BE SUMMED UP IN ONE WORD: BROKEN DON'T BE FOOLED BY SLICK PROMOTIONAL POSTS THAT MAKE IT SEEM LIKE YOUR LOCAL, STATE OR FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ELECTED AND APPOINTED OFFICIALS ARE SOLVING THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING CRISIS. WHEN IT COMES TO AFFORDABLE HOUSING, THE PUBLIC AND TAXPAYERS MUST ASK: AT WHAT COST TO THE TAXPAYERS AND HOW LONG IS THE AFFORDABILITY PERIOD? EVERY TAXPAYER SHOULD BE ASKING THEIR ELECTED AND APPOINTED OFFICIALS THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS: 1. How much local, state, and federal funding, tax credits, density bonus increase, waivers of impact fees, or other government benefit or incentive did the project receive? 2. What is the affordability period for each project and, if the affordability period is not in perpetuity or permanent, WHY NOT? 3. What guarantees exist that tenants in the affordable housing units will not be displaced after an "affordability period expires? Any LOCAL, STATE or FEDERAL official that does not MANDATE "permanent" affordability periods or affordability "IN PERPETUITY" for any project receiving some government benefit is commiting MALFEASANCE and should quit, be removed from office or be terminated. IN MOST CASES WHEN IT COMES TO AFFORDABLE HOUSING, the public and taxpayer are being fooled into thinking their elected and appointed officials are solving problems, when in fact, all hey have done is "KICK THE CAN DOWN THE ROAD" to burden a future generation with the same problem or crisis!

We need to be willing to take risks, and we desperately need to learn from mistakes — our own as well as those of others. Perhaps the most destructive myth when it comes to philanthropy is that foundations should keep their failures to themselves. Foundation staff often worry about taking risks in their grantmaking because they want to report the best findings to their boards and their community stakeholders. They also may avoid risk because they want to have confidence in knowing that all of their grant dollars are being spent in the most effective way possible and are meeting community needs. Those are certainly worthy goals, but to change deep-seated issues like poverty, homelessness, and environmental concerns, it’s important to try new things, which implies taking some risk. And although risk can bring success, it sometimes brings failure. Don’t deny your failures. They’re valuable — to you and to others. Talk about what didn’t work so that other foundations and organizations that are doing similar projects can learn from your mistakes. That way, everybody can increase the effectiveness of their grantmaking. #Philanthropist #PhilanthropyAdvice #Philanthropy
