Marcia Hamilton+FollowAsheville faces major cuts to homeless housingPermanent housing for Asheville’s most vulnerable residents is at risk. New federal rules could slash funding for programs like Homeward Bound, which have helped hundreds of people move off the streets and into stable homes. Instead, the money will shift to short-term, treatment-first programs, despite strong evidence that ‘Housing First’ works best—especially in a city where rent is sky-high. For many, losing this support could mean returning to homelessness. What do you think: Should stable housing come before treatment, or is the new approach the right move? #Safety #Asheville #Homelessness01Share
meadowsmary+FollowFort Worth steps up for neighbors facing the freezeAs temperatures drop below freezing in Fort Worth, hundreds of volunteers hit the streets to connect with people experiencing homelessness—offering not just warm hats and hand warmers, but real conversations and support. Stories like Darren Richie’s remind us that homelessness can happen to anyone, and a little compassion goes a long way. The annual Point in Time Count isn’t just about numbers; it’s about seeing our neighbors, learning what they need, and breaking down stereotypes. What do you think our community can do to make a bigger impact, especially during harsh winter nights? #Safety #FortWorth #Homelessness00Share
