I’ve lived outside several times with my family. Why? Nearby family safe shelters were full, one shelter refused us because we’ve been too many times, and our “transitional housing” lasted 2 years. Available shelters housed men with children.

I had the honor of discussing affordable housing in #omaha with the brilliant Meredith Dillon. We talk about intersectionality, the housing ecosystem, and sustainable paths to investments in our community. Thank you @FrontPorchInv ✨✨

We are just a few hundred dollars from the 50% mark!! It would mean so much to the work of solving the affordable housing crisis to have this narrative and research project in Omaha. Let’s do this, friends: frontporchinvestments.org/ge…

“How we think about an issue, talk about it & remember those issues really matter. We each want to support solutions to problems, based on our beliefs, feelings, or based on how we each think about an issue.” - @Marisol_Bello, @HousingNarrativ
