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

Hey Kansas City, You know, every time I think about what we're doing at Kansas City GIFT, I can't help but smile. And today, I've got a big reason to. Thanks to your unwavering support, @Vine Street Brewing Co. has just leveled up in a major way. Imagine this: our community, thriving, buzzing with the energy of success. That's the vision we're turning into reality, one grant at a time. But let's get real for a second. This moment? It's bigger than beer. It's about our hustle, resilience, and unbreakable Kansas City spirit. It's about taking the seeds of what if and nurturing them into the fruits of what is. With a new fermenter in their arsenal, Vine Street is pumping out orders and boosting their bottom line faster than ever. This isn't just a win; it's a transformation. Massive props to Vine Street Brewing Co. for brewing up excellence and crafting a legacy that'll inspire generations. And to my Kansas City GIFT family—this victory is as much yours as theirs. Your generosity is the backbone of dreams like this. It's the spark that lights up the future. But why stop here? Our mission—to close the racial wealth gap, to uplift and empower Black-owned businesses, to transform economically disadvantaged areas into beacons of opportunity—this mission is far from complete. It's about more than financial support; it's about building a movement. A movement where every success story, like Vine Street's, paves the way for countless more. This journey has so much more, and your role is vital. Your support, your belief, it's what makes all this possible. Ready to dive deeper? Visit us at www.kansascitygift.org and become a donor today. Here's to the wins we've shared, the stories we've told, and the countless glasses we've yet to raise. Because when we lift one another, we all rise. Let's keep brewing success, one dream, one grant, one community at a time. #KansasCityGIFT #vinestreetbrewing #BlackOwnedBusinesses #MissionDriven #TogetherWeRise #if15000peopledonated10amonth

When your board members volunteer, it's mostly good news, but it can also be bad news. If you're not careful, role confusion will result. Watch this video to discover the challenge and how to keep your lines of authority clear.
