Basic principle of Finland’s #housingfirst” program: give homeless people a place to live, without preconditions, then support them. Not the other way around. Interview with @JKaakinen, CEO of the Y-Foundation. https://t.co/e3mizD40KK

Most teens spend years yearning for the freedom and autonomy of a driving license (because that’s how their streets were built).

Dutch teens spend years actually experiencing those things—without the added stress, danger and expense (because that’s how their streets were built).

The use of mystery shopper tests to demonstrate the existence of housing discrimination is common in many countries.

What is less common is using these tests as grounds for legal action against specific bodies that have been caught, as Brussels plans to. https://t.co/tCYmZtZhoZ

I'm always baffled whenever I hear politicians say they need their constituents to demonstrate the need for cycling infrastructure in a context where we know the benefits it has on health and safety.

This doesn't seem like leadership to me.

How do we foster public support? 1. Make sure community members have a voice 2. Be honest about how decisions are made 3. Show that you care about individuals wellbeing #PIBC2018 #socialpsychology #CommunityEngagement Dr. Alison Ledgerwood
