Shelterforce - Veteran Housing Corp suggests that there is STILL A LOT OF WORK TO DO. NOTHING BUT A COMPLETE OVERHAUL OF THE NATION'S GOVERNMENT FINANCED HOUSING PROGRAMS WILL RESOLVE THE NATION'S AFFORDABLE HOUSING CRISIS As STAKEHOLDERS in the #affordablehousing space, isn't it our responsibility to present new ideas, innovation, and foster change for the betterment of society and our communities. My hope is that every #affordablehousing stakeholder will bring this most important issue to light and contact their local, state, and federal housing officials and work to OVERHAUL a broken system I am not advocating for another government social program, but rather that governments (local, state, and federal) should be responsible when investing taxpayer dollars in program that are meant to serve their constituents. Those programs must provide permanent solutions that pay for themselves. If you the ultra rich, private developers, for-profit companies or non-profit developers wish to build whatever mixed-use project, affordable-, workforce- or market-rate rent projects, they should be free to do so, but not at taxpayer expense! The affordable housing crisis facing America is something only new and innovative ideas and solutions will work, not more of the same old way of doing business and wasting trillions in taxpayer supported programs that have failed miserably in the past! Veteran Housing Corp suggests local, state, and federal governments overhaul the current housing programs and adopt a coordinated VIENNA HOUSING MODEL How We Can Bring Vienna’s Housing Model to the U.S. https://lnkd.in/esjumDf3 via @shelterforce

In April we kick off the next phase of our #ReforestingBaran project. The work is front loaded to do as much work on the ground before the monsoon rains in the summer. There are huge economies of scale meaning that the more funding we have, the more that can be done, and the more that is done, the more benefit can be evidenced......already in 2024. Looking for a project to contribute to before you sign off for the easter weekend? Why not?!? https://lnkd.in/g3rSEeCb #bethechange #ecosystemrestoration #makeadifference

Dr. Meisha Porter call to invest in the Bronx resonates 🙏🏾🦋 deeply with me. As a former educator and a budding mental health therapist, I’ve seen firsthand how community investment can transform lives. The Bronx, with its history of overcoming challenges, exemplifies resilience and community strength. Leading The Bronx Community Foundation, Dr. Porter is not just offering aid; she’s empowering a community to shape its future. This aligns with my belief in fostering resilience at a grassroots level. Investing in communities like the Bronx is more than charity; it’s a catalyst for sustainable change and growth… The foundation’s approach of working “by Bronxites, for Bronxites” is a testament to the power of community-driven development. The significant donation they’ve received this giving season is a beacon of hope and a testament to the potential of communal efforts. It’s an inspiring example for all communities facing similar challenges. In my own journey, transitioning from education to therapy, I strive to embody this spirit of community support. It’s about lifting each other up, providing resources, and nurturing environments where every individual can thrive. So, as we reflect on #GivingTuesday, let’s consider how we can contribute to such meaningful initiatives. Whether it’s time, resources, or expertise, every contribution counts towards building stronger, more resilient communities. 🔍 Ask yourself: How can you contribute to nurturing resilience in your community? Let’s share ideas and create ripples of positive change. #CommunityInvestment #ResilienceBuilding #BronxPride

As a financial planner, I often advise my clients to focus on what brings value to their lives. However, I've come to realize that I haven't always followed my own advice. One thing that has made a significant impact on my life is the simple act of donating blood. Seeing how blood donations have saved the lives of people I love has inspired me to become a regular donor myself. It’s a small action that creates immense value, not just for the recipient, but for the community as a whole. I encourage everyone to consider what small actions they can take today to bring value to their own lives and to the lives of others. Sometimes, the simplest gestures can have the most profound impact. #GiveBlood #CreateValue #CommunityImpact #FinancialPlanning

FRIDAY FUN FACTS 🤡 Did you know...focusing on the smallest amount of either accrued or remaining progress of donations increases motivation to donate by creating an illusion of fast progress.💨 Let's say you are trying to raise $10,000. At the beginning, mention the accrued progress: "We raised $1000". After you cross the halfway point of $5000, switch to the remaining progress: "Only $4000 left". In both cases, you mention the smaller number. Each donation will feel more impactful compared to the reference point. This is a bias called the small-area hypothesis. When you are striving toward a goal, you exhibit greater motivation when your attention is directed to whichever is smaller in size.🧠 Have a teeny weekend Leanne #salespsychology #donationpsychology #fridayfunfacts #thinkoutsidethebox
