Rough day for me today. Our youth face decisions and make choices that they shouldn’t have to make in a country with such wealth-a choice between a place to lay their heads, or food, or clothing or something else-there but by the grace of God...#endyouthhomelessness

This great. But black and brown folks should not have to pass the plate to secure housing for their communities. Black Lives Matter Is Making Single Moms Homeowners - Yes! Magazine https://t.co/SUjvdeSfXP

We cannot #EndHomelessness by treating it as an issue of individual choice, when it is an issue of structures, systems, and racial justice. #HousingNotHandcuffs

[Amanda Misiko Andere She/Her @AmandaAndere]

We are also inspired @funderstogether by @ctrupin an his leadership to bring funders together to end youth homelessness & clear commitment to racial equity.

Affordable housing is the key....but somehow we keep changing the locks. @CovenantHouseDC #endyouthhomelessness

Just noting that there was roaring applause&I saw some snaps for addressing structural racism. It's the only thing that will end homelessness & folks are finally starting to wake up to it. #TheHillHomelessness

[Amanda Misiko Andere She/Her @AmandaAndere]

Just down the street from me. Regretting not going. This is where all of us who want to end homelessness should be. With the people, actually putting their lives on the line.

Here’s what I know having been in this nonprofit business for 25 plus years-where so many orgs fail or flounder is a heavy focus on mission with little to no priority on the org infrastructure needed to support that mission. Well run orgs serve people better.

Thanks so much to @trayonwhite and @MissAveSE for supporting the work to help youth experiencing homelessness in Ward 8. We are excited about the new 23 bed facility @CovenantHouseDC -with housing and supports for youth who need it.

Today is a sad day in DC politics. Expulsion is like an insurance policy; you hope you'll never need to use it. But the evidence from our investigation & others made it clear this is necessary. What happened infected the entire body of the Council & corroded the public's trust.

Attempting to take off my professional hat&just speak as a Christian, as a person of deep faith.This is not the way of Jesus.Our elected&appointed leaders committed to ending homelessness should not be about fixing or punishing people for a system that failed them.

[Amanda Misiko Andere She/Her @AmandaAndere]

Also stop saying the solution to #EndingHomelessness is affordable housing without also calling out the need for housing justice.Years of historic and structural racism in our housing system demands for us to have more nuanced policy that addresses racial disparities

Gotta late start but.... Just made rum cake. Eggs boiling for deviled eggs, greens in crockpot. Now making cranberry sauce and then will season wings. Happy Thanksgiving!

It’s been a stressful week. Full of all the things. But I get the privilege of dealing with that stress in the comfort of my home. We must rest now, so we can keep up the fight for housing justice.

As I approach the day of Thanksgiving, I am blessed and thankful for so many things. But today I am thankful that I get to do work that feeds my family and my soul. #endyouthhomelessness @CovenantHouseDC

[CovHouseDCExec @cov_dc]

Kudos to @funderstogether for this work. If you are not looking at your philanthropy and/or social justice work through a racial equity lens, you are not moving forward, and really neither are the people you are serving.
