Arapahoe County’s Aid to Agencies provides more than $500,000 in competitive grant funding each year to human-centered organizations that serve vulnerable residents. Those funds are at risk due to a significant budget shortfall that the County is facing in 2025. Hear from Integrated Family Community Services, one of the organizations that relies on those funds to serve our community.

The The Scottish Government needs to prioritise housing for children, move the funds for the independence drive, that money exists. With almost 10,000 kids living in sheltered accommodations, hostels, and cheap hotels there's a real and present need for action NOW. This housing crisis is having a lasting impact on their education and social lives. It's time to come together and provide every child with a fair chance to succeed. Let's not forget that in 5, 10, or 15 years, these kids will be old enough to vote. We have the opportunity to influence their future, and this is way more important than petty politics. It's about giving kids the stability to become more than "less than." As someone who has walked that path, I know how much this would impact their lives. Shelter Scotland has recently brought this issue to the forefront, and it's crucial that we don't let it drop off. Please like, comment, and share this post. Let's keep the conversation going and make sure that almost 10,000 children have the stable homes they deserve. #HousingCrisis #ChildrenFirst

Does anyone know of any compelling justification for why #AntiochCityCouncil members should be allocated $100,000 in taxpayer funds to host community events at their own discretion, outside of the City's established grant programs and oversight processes? While supporting community events can be a worthwhile endeavor, allocating $100,000 of taxpayer dollars directly to council members without a clear process or guidelines raises concerns about potential misuse or lack of transparency. Was there any public input, needs assessment, or defined criteria that would justify this significant increase in funding for council member-organized events? Councilwoman Tamisha Torres-Walker pushed for the increase, stating that $2,000 was "a slap in the face" and that council members invest their own money into the community. However, she provided no specific examples of how she or others have spent personal funds. The council initially requested $12,000 total for community events ($2,000 per district and $4,000 for #LamarThorpe. During the council meeting, this amount was abruptly increased to $100,000 ($20,000 per district and $20,000 for the mayor), with the funds coming from the general fund. The #CityOfAntioch is already facing significant budget deficits, utilizing $4.6 million from the #BudgetStabilizationFund to balance the current budget. City staff has repeatedly warned the council about overspending and depleting the stabilization funds. #CouncilSlushFund #AntiochDeservesBetter #VoteThemOut #VoteLamarThorpeOut #ElectionYear #VoteResponsibly https://lnkd.in/gvf5PDkz

There’s no end in sight for the cost of living crisis, but there may be an end to Household Support. After three years, the government is looking to end the payments that have allowed us to help the city’s most disadvantaged residents. Which is why we are lobbying the Chancellor and the Prime Minister to continue the Housing Support Fund throughout 2024. Ending the funding now could make our most vulnerable residents nearly £500 a year worse off, at a time when those most in need are crying out for more help: https://bit.ly/49YY8yP

In the attached memo, LAHSA provides a breakdown of the City funded programs under the General Fund, Roadmap, Alliance, the Homeless Housing, Assistance, and Prevention (HHAP) program, and the Emergency Solutions Grant contracts. The reported amounts provide an estimated expenditure and balance. Further review and reconciliation is needed to ensure that the estimated amounts are in alignment with the City. The projected General Fund underspend will be used to address any projected shortfalls that LAHSA notes.
