Look what support can do! Want to lift up that it doesn't have to be your job but compassion should be apart of it! Some of our support means being on the phone or sending that email when a community member has been discouraged. 1/3

Explaining what payment plans mean and how to ask for them. Some people are trying their best in this pandemic mess.

With that support, 1 family was able to get their bill taken care of and 3 more were able to get paid with the funds we raised. 2/3

📣THIS WEEK you should be getting Summer EBT on your existing P-EBT or EBT card if you've received P-EBT at anytime since October 2020. 📣

EBT supports families in the summer when kids are most likely to go hungry without school meals.

NEW: What does today's Kentucky Supreme Court decision on Gov. Andy Beshear's executive authority mean for schools?

I explain.

Y'all, I hear you. If you believe the COVID-19 case and quarantine figures reported by #JCPS are inaccurate, please fill this out to help me get a sense of the accurate numbers.

We could easily spend all of this money on houselessness but I urge us to spend at least half of it.

This would cover housing for everyone outside, transitional options, and wraparound services.

[BLM Louisville Housing Team @BLMLHousingTeam]

Need to see who's receiving the assistance. Also they have great representatives.

[Paul E Williams @PEWilliams_]

Anyone know what's up with Virginia? They're doing great. They were at 42% paid through June.

[Paul E Williams @PEWilliams_]

Through June, only 15 states (and DC) had spent 10% or more of their Emergency Rental Assistance dollars. July numbers should be out next week so hopefully we will see a lot more of this money spent.

[Democracy Now! @democracynow]

"Rental assistance has been a disaster," says @taraghuveer, director of @KCTenants. Instead of canceling rents and mortgages, governments built "a bureaucratic, non-automatic, means-tested program in rental assistance — and the money is not getting to the tenants who need it."

[derecka @dereckapurnell]

Police evict people from outside. They shift them to other highly exploited areas so it’s easier to patrol and arrest them. None of it fixes homelessness. Or exploitation. When people argue that cops show up everyday and do the right thing, this is the right thing. And it’s wrong

[Jecorey Arthur @jecoreyarthur]

We need about $131.6 million to build housing for the 1,013 people who were counted in January 2021 as being houseless. When you add supportive services we're talking even more.

[Tara Raghuveer @taraghuveer]

Hate to say we told you so, but #CancelRent sounds a lot more effective than the disaster of rental assistance.
