Cripplegate Foundation’s Post

Stable housing is crucial for businesses and for the people who depend on these businesses for their survival and well-being. The housing issue affects staple jobs in our community, including nurses, teachers, firefighters, and many industries that are essential - people who, in the past, would have little trouble finding a place to live in Bend. As your Chamber, we are leading the development and implementation of initiatives that will bring more affordable housing to our local workforce. But we can't do it alone. Would you consider making a tax-deductible donation today to support workforce housing? Click here to find out more or to donate: https://zurl.co/UoAD

Additional takeaway from my last post: want to help western North Carolina (WNC)? Adopt a church and make a donation directly. There is a huge logistical/ distribution problem getting aid out from the I40/US321 corridors right now (the two examples from Old Fort and Morganton provided last post plus the Town of Boone stopped taking donations Friday). As in the example provided, churches are actively engaged in helping their communities but are short on resources while local municipalities are being overrun with the influx of aid. Disaggregating the distribution approach is needed. Just as in business, small locally focused industrial distributors often provide value because of their access to and relationships with their customers. So too do churches have this access and these relationships and every community has a church. So just as I found Ed and Reggie at FBC Hildebran so too could you find a church in WNC and make a donation and help bypass the bottlenecks. Want to help WNC? Adopt a WNC church and make a donation directly.

A big thankyou to ASN Collectibles, Angel & Co and their generous patron who collaborated on the sale of a collectable item donating the proceeds to the Bardsley Youth Project. Your donation is going towards the Nourish Connect Support Initiative supporting young people in Coventry facing the difficult choice between heating and eating this winter.   The young person's warm space was born out of the need we saw in our client group. The Young People we serve are often disproportionately affected by cost of living rises. They are usually on lower wages, lower benefits and at a higher likelihood of being on zero-hour contracts than those over the age of 25. They also face barriers to accessing typical warm space environments, for example, feeling anxiety about not being around peers, and fearing the prejudice that unfortunately commonly accompanies the stereotype of ‘youth. Our warm space aims to lessen some of the difficult choices young people have to make, ultimately trying to prevent the likelihood of circumstances culminating in youth homelessness. If your business would like to get involved you can find out more about the initiative here: https://lnkd.in/eK9Y3Dxi Browse ASN Collectibles on Ebay here: https://lnkd.in/eUsJ_fKp Find out more about visiting Angel & Co at Hoar Park Farm Craft and Shopping Village here: https://lnkd.in/equf2EXA #csr #corporatesocialresponsibility #ESG #Communityimpact #socialimpact #coventrybusiness #westmidlands #coventry #charity #supportlocal

And the answer is .... Social Housing! We love Social Housing for many reasons: 🚀 Providing quality homes for those who need it 🚀 No voids 🚀 No bills 🚀 Low maintenance 🚀 Guaranteed rent Working with the likes of Serco, Mears or private charities, allows us to put contracts in place that provide the above 👆. These 3 properties alone provide us with £2148 net cashflow every month, and we don't hear a pep out of them. Bare in mind lending for these is not for the faint hearted as it is difficult but worth it! Want to hear more about how we structure these deals? Let us know!
