IF YOU ARE NOT PART OF A PERMANENT AND LASTING SOLUTION TO THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING CRISIS AND HOMELESSNESS, YOU ARE THE PROBLEM! THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX IS BROKEN AND NOT WORKING FOR AMERICAN TAXPAYERS Veteran Housing Corp would ask every TAXPAYER to demand and get answers from their elected and appointed government officials the below questions as they relate to any affordable, workforce, or supportive housing project in your community! 1. How much local, state, and federal funding, tax credits, or other government benefits or incentives did the project receive? 2. What is the affordability period for each project? Is the affordability period permanent and in perpetuity? 3. What guarantees exist have your local, state, and federal government officials obtained in writing that rents will not go up or that tenants will not be displaced or evicted after the "affordability period expires? Every local, state, and federal housing authority and affordable or workforce housing stakeholder should adopt the State of Vermont's "permanent affordability" policy as a model for all future government funded or subsidized housing projects or developments, no exceptions! https://lnkd.in/eFEUC8c8 Additionally, local, state and federal housing agencies should look to the Helsinki, FINLAND MODEL of ending homelessness by providing affordable housing for all 'It’s a miracle': Helsinki's radical solution to homelessness https://lnkd.in/er9HZSQU Even the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development AGREES THAT adopting FINLAND'S MODEL OF ERADICATING HOMELESSNESS may be of great value to resolving the affordable housing and homelessness crises in America https://lnkd.in/gkSZWYRU

How does Chicago political scenario look like? Gregory Royal Pratt wrote an interesting look at Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s administration. I am not going to lie, it is a political book, but it is also an indirect leadership book. Politicians need support from other public officials to carry out policy. In our workplace, we need allies to better serve our customers and stakeholders. As leaders we have to evaluate ourselves and make sure we don’t lose our North. #leadership #chicago #politics

Keynote Speaker I Recognized School Turnaround Strategist l Anti-Racism Advocate I Founder & CEO
In many states, the state of education for our Black and Brown children remains a pressing problem, and let's be clear ???? it's NOT the fault of the children. I've walked into countless classrooms and what I've witnessed is not what the media often portrays. I haven't seen rampant misbehavior or chaos. Instead, I see children behaving just like any other kids their age - curious, eager to learn, and full of potential. So what's really holding them back? Here's what I've seen: 1?? A pervasive lack of belief in the worth and capabilities of Black and Brown children. 2?? Unsupportive and disorganized leadership within our educational institutions. And who bears the brunt of this failure? The children. They're unfairly blamed for circumstances beyond their control. We owe it to our children to do better.? It's time to shift the narrative and hold the true culprits accountable – dismantle the barriers, challenge the status quo, and create a system that truly values and empowers every child, regardless of their background. ???? If you are struggling to create this type of change in your school, DM me and let’s see how I can help. #schoolleaders #edleadership #whenbrowngirlslead
