The housing unit, attractively set around a courtyard in converted student accommodation, follows the
⭐️“Housing First” principle that has made Finland a world leader when it comes to tackling homelessness.
👉The model focuses on housing as a fundamental human right rather than a reward.
Temporary accommodation is seen not as a solution, but something to be avoided.
All support is centred on ensuring that people have permanent homes,
with everything else follow…

L.A.’s homeless authority is in a fight for its survival
Los Angeles’ chief homeless agency is battling a federal suspension that would
cut off access to roughly $240 million in Housing and Urban Development funds,
alleging it threatens core operations that underpin the region’s homelessness response.
HUD has frozen the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority’s role amid an inspector general probe into reported mismanagement and conflicts of interest,
while the…

💂♂️Hello this is OfGov how may I help you today?
🏌️♀️Oh hi! You know I usually agree completely with my representative but I'm afraid he hasn't really understood the issues on taxing the homelessness so I'd like to override his choice on the vote on Wednesday.
💂♂️No problem madam, would you prefer your vote-weight to be for or against the taxing the homeless bill on Wedesday.
🏌️♀️Oh, I'm all for it! Tax them off the streets I say. Its the only way to help them
💂♂️Allright, your vote-weight is recorded as overriding your normal representative for the taxing the homelessness bill on Wednesday. Is there anything else I can help you with?
🏌️♀️Nope, he's right about everything else. Continue to let him represent me on every other vote until I call again.
💂♂️Thank you, do call again.

Content warning: re: UKPol Prime Minister Burnham
That's it then, he's met the king and is the new PM.
Reckons that first things first, he's going to end rough-sleeping. Apparently something they tell me he achieved in Manchester.
Corbyn's big first day announcement if he won was going to be that he would end homelessness immediately.
Which can only really mean putting the homeless into hostels and hotels.
But good. Certainly that's an about-fucking-time sort of announcement.
If he ends people having to sleep on the streets in the first week then I can only approve of that.
