?? Supporting Homeless Families: A Compassionate Approach ?? In our communities, there are families and individuals experiencing homelessness who may not be ready to accept help. It can be challenging, but together we can make a difference! Here are some ways to engage compassionately and effectively: ?? Build Trust: Take the time to listen and connect. Show that you care without judgment. ?? Share Resources: Provide information about local shelters, food services, and support programs in a gentle, non-intrusive way. ?? Offer Practical Help: Sometimes, a little assistance with food, clothing, or transportation can open the door to further support. ?? Peer Support: Encourage connections with others who have shared similar experiences. Peer relationships can foster trust and community. ? Be Patient: Change takes time. Keep showing up, offering support, and respecting their choices. ?? Tailor Your Approach: Understand that everyone’s journey is unique. Customize your support based on their specific needs and circumstances. ?? Empower Self-Determination: Encourage families to set their own goals. Empowerment can lead to motivation for change. ?? Advocate for Change: Let’s work together towards systemic solutions—affordable housing, accessible healthcare, and job opportunities for all. Together, we can create a compassionate community where everyone feels valued and supported. ??? #EndHomelessness #CompassionInAction #SupportOurNeighbors #CommunityLove #Empowerment Feel free to share your thoughts or ways you’ve been able to help in the comments below! ????

In 2023, we helped prevent 202 people from experiencing homelessness. “… people don’t think the service is for them until they have no home. Not a lot of people know that we can help or advise people in that situation” Our latest blog shares insights into the vital and collaborative work that our team carries out to prevent someone sleeping outside: https://lnkd.in/eB_HSZN7

In communities across the globe, notably in Calgary, the challenge of homelessness impacts numerous lives, and one facet that is often overlooked is the experience of children in these situations. When families or parents experience homelessness, this means children, too, are experiencing homelessness. When supported with compassion and understanding, children in these situations demonstrate not just resilience but incredible strength and potential. We are exploring the unique experiences of children who face homelessness and emphasize the strengths-based approaches and inclusive, trauma-informed care strategies that can profoundly support their well-being, development, and educational success.

#Homelessness is a systemic issue. It’s also a preventable one. Over 14 months, Chapin Hall collaborated with partners and young experts from across the homelessness space to transform their knowledge and experiences into a national #Prevention strategy. We conducted in-depth interviews to understand youth’s pathways through homelessness, hosted working groups to identify solutions, and did a systematic review of prevention evidence. Now, we have a national strategy to share that can help us build a future where every young person has the foundation for success: https://lnkd.in/g8hvxqJE

Research we commissioned from Northumbria University suggests that 94% of people experiencing homelessness have experienced trauma. We must do more to tackle trauma if we hope to end homelessness. We need a nationwide trauma-informed approach within all homelessness services. And that starts with the government. That’s why, today, we are asking you to write to either the minister or shadow minister responsible for tackling homelessness to bring attention to this issue.

Everyone deserves a place to call home. It’s heartbreaking to think that so many people in our communities are struggling without shelter, safety, and a sense of stability. That’s why it’s so important to support efforts like the one in Lenexa to create a Homeless Services Center. This center would provide critical resources to those who need it most—offering not just a roof, but hope for a better tomorrow. Please take a moment to support the petition to persuade the Lenexa City Council to approve the Special Use Permit for this center. It could be a game-changer for so many lives. It takes just a few seconds to sign, and it could make all the difference. Imagine if it were you or someone you love. Everyone deserves dignity, and everyone deserves a place to call home. Let’s make sure no one is left behind. Your support matters! #EveryoneDeservesAHome #SupportTheHomeless #CommunityMatters #TakeAction #trusttheprocess https://lnkd.in/guw-_Ksg

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
