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

TRUSTEES FOR CIVIC INFRASTRUCTURE Our commitment to enhancing civic infrastructure by encouraging, educating, and inspiring individuals of all ages throughout the county would not be possible without the continued support of our trustees. LEADERship has a small group of Trustees for Civic Infrastructure who provide an annual investment critical to the ongoing success of our program. Each investment goes directly to participant programming and results in people taking on leadership roles in the community. LEADERship, in turn, banners the names of the Trustee organizations on LEADERship publications and materials. As is almost always the case with education, tuition for the class year does not cover the cost of the program. The support from the Trustees for Civic Infrastructure allows LEADERship to keep tuition at an affordable price to maintain the diversity we seek. That also allows us to maintain the growing network of leaders who are working individually and collectively to strengthen our communities. LEADERship Ashtabula County salutes our Trustees for Civic Infrastructure, who have invested in the development of people ready to make things happen. #Trustees #LEADERshipAshtabulaCounty #CommunitySupport #CommunityPartnership

It's been a transformative experience witnessing the power of passion, coupled with the incredible talent pool in our city. Indy is a hotbed of dedicated individuals pouring their hearts and souls into critical community work. I have befriended, worked with, and admire many of these individuals in our city. They work hard to shape our communities. But we have a flaw: we often face an uphill battle with limited resources, capacity, and support. This is where #policydevelopment talent comes in. Turning big ideas into actionable plans is the catalyst for real change. The Urban Leaders Fellowship is more than just a fellowship; it's an investment in our city's future. By nurturing talent, building strong networks, and supporting vital community initiatives, we're creating a ripple effect that extends far beyond the program itself. I've gained a profound respect for the tireless work of our local schools and government agencies. They're on the frontlines, navigating complex challenges to uplift our most vulnerable communities. Through our flagship program, we partner our dedicated fellows with these organizations and through the formative experience, we forge professionals ready for deployment deep into our communities. Our fellows and alumni are the embodiment of hope - they're in the statehouse, classrooms, and neighborhoods, driving lasting, generational change. Supporting programs like ULF isn't just an investment; it's a commitment to a brighter future for #Indianapolis. Let's continue to nurture and empower our next generation of leaders. H/T to Evren Wilder Elliott for the powerful words displayed.
