A data take away re:effectively addressing homelessness is seen in veterans homelessness initiatives which have more dedicated resources for housing. To replicate this success, we need SIGNIFICANTLY more resources. Highlight from today’s Addressing Homelessness conference session

“The data shows us that housing works. Every time a project leases up, we see the impact in the data. Our challenge is that people are entering homelessness at a higher rate than we can produce housing.” Tamera Kohler @RTFHSD

Opening keynote by Afira DeVries at SDHF #housingmatters, challenging “Good enough is good enough for them” thinking. People want a “good enough solution” because they are quick and they look like solutions - but they are not. We must believe in people’s potential. @SDHFtweets

Session #2 at the SHLN Institute “We need to challenge ourselves to be ok being uncomfortable, and also to admit our biases.” Tanissha Harrell on race equity, the importance of the “why” of our work, and intentionally keeping housing justice at the center of supportive housing.

Learning so much at this morning's SHLN training: Supportive Housing from the lens of Persons with Lived Experience (PLE) "Moving into SH that intentionally employs PLE provides a deep sense of hope. Peers change people's journey in such a profound & positive way." Jeff Najarian
