I get it, and there needs to be intention behind the services being provided. Create a list of the specific items you believe are necessary for this resident to stabilize and share it with the on-site staff. Do your part by monitoring the resident’s transition into housing and communicating your observations to the on-site staff. From there, it will be up to site staff, Property Management, and the other providers involved to create consistency, structure, and routine around the resident (containment zone). It isn’t easy, but a coordinated approach gives them the best chance at success.

@AmberRichmondSF You can also submit an ECM referral.

Touch base with both Services and Property Management (if a PSH site). The primary leverage Services has to help curb the behavior is through consistent lease enforcement by Property Management. This has to start from day one to have a real chance of helping someone in this state of mind (my opinion). Try setting up IHSS services and submit a PHACS referral as soon as possible. I know it’s challenging when these issues weren’t addressed before the resident was housed, but those are the resources available to help stabilize the situation.

Former addicts say there is no recovery without accountability. But Sacramento thinks drug-free sober living communities are cruel. Make it make sense.

Barring state dollars from funding abstinence-based housing while using them to fund needle exchange is cruel. And until we make a change, people will continue to overdose on our streets and in our shelters.

As governor, I will sign legislation to fund recovery housing and build out a shelter system that gets everyone indoors and on a pathway to something better — for their good and the good of the broader community.

It’s the “small things”: a few minutes of properly executed rotator cuff work, a movement for glute medius, neck work (yes neck work), etc. that let you do the big things (heavy-ish compound movements, cardio etc) for decade after decade, pain free. Learn it here:

Harder than it sounds. The old man test. Which is really just a mobility balance exercise in disguise. Fun one. Quick. Make it requisite — or at least try it every day until you get it. Slippers and Velcro are PEDs.

Represent Justice brought together a group of system-impacted storytellers through its Ambassador Program to create a series of five short films that will be streaming this week on Tubi.

These films use lived experience to explore reentry after prison, youth justice, alternatives to incarceration, and the criminalization of trauma. They center the voices of system-impacted people and confront the ripple effects of systemic injustice.

The series includes:

• The Cure Complex: My film examines how ineffective “evidence-based” addiction treatment models perpetuate dependency instead of empowering transformation.

• A Million Dollar Cage: Kent Mendoza explores how Los Angeles’ juvenile justice system has long funneled youth toward incarceration instead of care.

• Chasing Redemption: Thaisan Nguon follows two individuals rebuilding their lives after their Life Without Parole sentences were commuted.

• Breaking Barriers: Kristel Cosio highlights system-impacted students at UC Berkeley navigating higher education after incarceration.

• The Truth Behind the Mask: JeiJei Webster explores the realities of reentering society after prison in Chicago.

As Represent Justice CEO Daniel Forkkio shared, “When directly impacted voices are given the tools and platform to lead, they do so with honesty and vulnerability. As a society, we can’t turn away from the truth.”

This distribution was made possible through a partnership between Represent Justice, TribecaOne, and Emil Pinnock (Genius in the Hood), helping bring these stories to a global audience.

“Because you think you know, but you have no idea…”

@TheMarinaTimes There is a high probability most of them already have a place to go.

View of Earth from 900 million miles away, with Saturn's rings in the image, taken by Cassini spacecraft.

That dot is us, all 8 billion of us. It's all an insanely lucky miracle.

I'm grateful for all of it & all of you. Love you all! ❤️

PS: Now, I'm off to partake in the great American Thanksgiving tradition of over-eating while getting into a heated philosophical argument with family 🤣
