Veteran Housing Corp says that IF YOU ARE NOT PART OF A PERMANENT AND LASTING SOLUTION TO THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING CRISIS AND HOMELESSNESS, YOU ARE THE PROBLEM! THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX IS BROKEN AND NOT WORKING FOR AMERICAN TAXPAYERS Veteran Housing Corp would ask every TAXPAYER to demand and get answers from their elected and appointed government officials the below questions as they relate to any affordable, workforce, or supportive housing project in your community! 1. How much local, state, and federal funding, tax credits, or other government benefits or incentives did the project receive? 2. What is the affordability period for each project? Is the affordability period permanent and in perpetuity? 3. What guarantees exist have your local, state, and federal government officials obtained in writing that rents will not go up or that tenants will not be displaced or evicted after the "affordability period expires? Every local, state, and federal housing authority and affordable or workforce housing stakeholder should adopt the State of Vermont's "permanent affordability" policy as a model for all future government funded or subsidized housing projects or developments, no exceptions! https://lnkd.in/eFEUC8c8 Additionally, local, state and federal housing agencies should look to the Helsinki, FINLAND MODEL of ending homelessness by providing affordable housing for all 'It’s a miracle': Helsinki's radical solution to homelessness https://lnkd.in/er9HZSQU Even the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development AGREES THAT adopting FINLAND'S MODEL OF ERADICATING HOMELESSNESS may be of great value to resolving the affordable housing and homelessness crises in America https://lnkd.in/gkSZWYRU

How are you going to make a difference today?

I don't post many personal things on this site, but this was a life dividing event for students like me who attended Texas A&M at this time. No one will ever be able to describe what it was like to look at the stack twisted into a heap with deceased students still underneath. Lessons I learned from the bonfire collapse: - Local news cares about local people, and are the best source of unbiased information in times of crisis. - National news will show up demanding answers to why it happened while dead students haven't been removed from the accident. They don't really care, they want to sell their advertising space. -The real answers to why take time to carefully study, the independent report of this tragedy was presented more than one year after (if my memory serves me right) - "That is how we always did it" is not the answer to a safety concern. Anyone can identify a problem, no matter how much they know or don't know. Group think is a well known principle for a reason. Stop, talk it out, and come up with a solution together. - No matter what differences you have with others, you can come together when the need arises. Praying for the family of those who fell on that day.

I talk a lot about Homes for Heroes®, but have you ever wondered what the organization is all about? Check out the video below to learn all about it!
