Downtown Halifax Business Commission’s Post

J. A. on community revitalization… The mission must be: - centered around responding to community need; - comprehensive enough to addresses need from various angles; and - collaborative in approach because we can’t do it by ourselves.

🤝 Partner with Us to Build Transitional Housing 🤝 At The Phileo House for The Unsheltered of Orlando, we believe in the power of partnership and serving to make a Kingdom impact. By working together, we can create transitional housing that provides stability and hope for those experiencing homelessness in our community. 🧾 Biblical Perspective on Partnership: "Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor." - Ecclesiastes 4:9 "Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way, you will fulfill the law of Christ." - Galatians 6:2 🤝 Benefits of Partnering with Us: Kingdom Building: Your involvement helps build God’s Kingdom by providing shelter and support to those in need. Community Impact: Together, we can create a safe and supportive environment that enables individuals to transition from homelessness to stability. Shared Vision: Partnering allows us to pool resources and expertise to create a sustainable and replicable model for transitional housing. Empowerment: By serving alongside us, you help empower individuals to regain their independence and rebuild their lives. Join us in this mission. Together, we can make a lasting impact in Orlando and beyond. #PhileoHouse #KingdomBuilding #EndHomelessness #OrlandoCares #CommunitySupport #TransitionalHousing #Partnerships

✨A Successful Week in Supported Living!✨ This week, I’m excited to share a significant milestone—I've just collected the keys to three properties from a property investor! These homes will soon be offered for supported living, providing much-needed accommodation for vulnerable individuals and families. Today, I’m heading to County Durham to meet with a supported living provider. The goal? To finalise a lease and house families who are currently homeless. Ensuring that these families have a safe, stable place to call home is not just a job for me—it’s a passion. With extensive experience working with families in crisis, I’ve seen firsthand the positive impact that stable housing can have on vulnerable populations. It's more than just providing a roof over someone’s head—it's about offering security, dignity, and the opportunity to rebuild lives. If you’re a provider or property investor looking to collaborate with an experienced and passionate team who values providing quality homes and quality support, let’s connect! Together, we can make a tangible difference in the lives of those who need it most. #SupportedLiving #HousingSolutions #HomelessnessPrevention #VulnerablePopulations #PropertyInvestment #MakingADifference

Poverty is a policy decision...

Curious about housing, homelessness, planning, community development (as a concept) and the policies & decisions surrounding these issues? Here are a few books I have found that have helped me gain a better and deeper understanding (and could perhaps help you) of where we've gone wrong, and where we can course correct to make better informed decisions to create improved opportunities and living conditions for our neighbors, friends, loved ones and other humans we share this space with: 1. Color of Law (Richard Rothstein) 2. Homelessness is a Housing Problem (Gregg Colburn/Clayton Aldern) 3. The Sum Of Us (Heather McGhee) 4. Fixer- Upper (Jenny Schuetz) 5. The Warmth Of Other Suns (Isabel Wilkerson) 6. How the Other Half Lives (Jacob A. Riis) 7. Yes to the City (Max Holleran) Any other suggestions? Leave them in the comments. Happy reading...and also; anyone have a housing reading group? I'm looking to read, contribute, and join!

This is a very important piece to make housing more attainable.
