Strategy And Sustainability: Building A Permanent Foundation
In recent weeks, the conversation surrounding the challenges facing our homeless neighbors in Putnam County has grown louder. We see the posts, we hear the frustrations, and we acknowledge the outcry. It is no secret that the current system is fragmented and, in many ways, broken.
However, at the Putnam County Homelessness Solutions Coalition, we believe that identifying a problem is only the first step. The second—and most vital—step is building a permanent foundation to fix it.

If you believe in a cause, NEVER GIVE UP! In only a month we had news media attention. Less than two months, we have local politicians standing up against the rest of them and a news reporter is interested in attending our next homeless meeting.
We're dismantling corruption, exposing the truth about homelessness and the lack of resources, building tight cooperation between nonprofits across the county, and pushing for new legislation on the state level. All this is being accomplished because we refuse to be sit down and be silenced while our neighbors go homeless across the county.
Your voice can bring change. It's a process, full of bureaucratic red tape you'll have to cut through, but you can do it.
I'm not saying we've achieved our goal in this short time but things are in motion and our voice is growing in number.

So far the #nonprofits I've been meeting w/ in my area, & a #Palatka City Commissioner, agree too many are doing the same & getting nothing done in the process. This week I'm meeting with all nonprofits across #PutnamCounty #Florida. We're working on better inter-organization cooperation to better collaborate on programs instead of multiple starting the same project, leading to wasted resources. So resources can be better spent, and bring additional programs and services into the county for those experiencing #homelessness.
Next on my agenda is meeting with #CrescentCity, #PomonaPark, #Welaka, and #Interlachen city councils; continue meeting with Palatka City council; and get on one of the councils with the the CoC, preferably the LEC since I've been #homeless myself.
I started a simple investigation into the closure of the only #homelessshelter in our area, and it morphed into a movement. And the more key players are positioning me to the point of contact between the nonprofits, the CoC, and city and county councils. I'm told it's because I have lived experience and I'm younger than all the other key people involved.
I just pray what we're doing actually works to get another shelter and more services in our county to help these people get back on their feet.

“Many of you could be where we are—on the street—but for some simple and not uncommon twist of fate. This is part of your rejection, this fear that it could be you. You deny that reality because it is too horrific to contemplate, therefore you must deny us.”

*My social justice activist friend, Crystal, was interviewed for this article.*
As the City of Victoria conducts what outreach workers say are deadly sweeps of Pandora Avenue, those who facilitate unhoused individuals into addiction rehabilitation centres say there’s not enough spaces to meet the needs of those who are left on the capital city’s streets.
“What I’m faced with is, where am I sending them?” said Theresa Reeve, executive director of the relatively new non-profit Westcoast Recovery Outreach.
Reeve says private treatment centres only take a select number of government-funded clients, leaving empty beds open for higher paying private clients.
“I could fill up their treatment centre if they would allow me,” said Reeve. “But they only let a few government-funded beds. We need to increase those government funded beds. These people deserve a chance just like everybody else.”
“People having to wait anywhere from two weeks to three months waiting to get into a detox bed is not acceptable. We need a better system now. We just had an election about. Where are all the beds they promised they were going to build?”
The Minister of Health told CHEK News in a statement that her government is adding new services without specifics.

Most letter writers to our local newspaper, #TimesColonist are quite conservative & cruel in how they think about marginalized peoples. You rarely see compassion in TC letters published, that Mr. Chris Holiday has shown. I don't know the person but grateful locals like them exist.
"Give more respect to those unhoused
I have been appalled at the increasing level of stigmatization and hatred directed toward the unhoused population.I live on Pandora Avenue and frequently walk by individuals suffering most severely from our province’s housing crisis. I’ve witnessed individuals in crisis and using threatening language towards passersby but I have also witnessed verbal harassment of unhoused individuals coming from the balconies of luxury apartments.
Public safety is a two-way street, everyone deserves the right to safety and dignity. A 2023 study by the Ministry of Housing reports that 67% of unhoused individuals have lived in their community for more than five years and 23% for their entire lives.
These are our neighbours, and they deserve respect just as much as us who are housed.

Samuel Brown Wylie, was a Reformed Presbyterian, and Covenanter. He condemns slavery without even quoting scripture: it makes no sense.
What of those modern theologians who feel a need to take the hard edges off of our opposition to slavery? Is this impolitic?
How can you take pains to ensure fair treatment of workers?

#HouseTheHouseless #HousingFirst
My dentist's office is 2 blocks away from the street encampments on Pandora in downtown #VictoriaBC. My dentist has provided a lot of free dental services to many of the #houseless folks who live in tents on this busy street. I wish everyone was as kind & compassionate.
#YYJ is a bourgeois government city & capital city of BC. There's so many empty buildings all around downtown core & also around the surrounding municipalities - which could be used as housing for many houseles individuals & houseless families.
Much of the so called new 'affordable housing' developments being built/built very recently are totally out of range for many folks who aren't even houseless. There's more than a few houseless folks who have either PT or FT jobs too. #StopHomelessnessStigma & #StopHouselessStereotypes 👍
Please keep putting pressure on your local, provincial & federal governments to fund more housing for houseless citizens.
Please don't be cruel to houseless folks & help them, if you can. Almost everyone is only a few paycheques or one horrible life changing accident away from being houseless.
Be kind 💗 You should never be looking down on anyone with less than you - unless you're giving them a hand up🙌

Heading out now with 2 friends for some community teamwork. We're putting together emergency first aid kits with Narcan, sexual health items, essential toiletries, filled reusable water bottles, multivitamins & some free bus tickets. We're grateful for the donations that make it possible to help more local vulnerable folks.
