"HPS is part of a proliferating family of interventions predicated on the notion that the cheapest way to address homelessness is by keeping struggling tenants from being turned out on the streets in the first place." bloomberg.com/news/features/… @DSTNHome @ChadBojorquez

The @SCCgov team shared this slide at our CoC meeting yesterday (we consistently measure our collective progress against the Community Plan) and it’s notable for a few reasons. 1) the magnitude of people who have moved into homes in just under 4 years is 8,392 (👏🏼👏🏼) AND 1/🧵

Big news - @Headspace and @carebyginger are merging to form Headspace Health. Just like physical fitness saw widespread participation in the 1980s, a similar evolution is underway in mental health. Thoughts on why we're so excited spctrm.pe/3jeJdZN

After a year of lost income, she asked, “where are we going to get all that money we owe?” Our lowest-income neighbors are more vulnerable than ever, facing average rental debt in the thousands & putting their lives further at risk to avoid homelessness. nytimes.com/2021/02/06/bus…


Exciting milestone @alltrails and it feels like we're just getting started

1 million subscribers. 10 thousand trees. And a community of 25 million outdoor lovers. It’s been a joy to help you all get outside over the past ten years, and we can’t wait to keep spreading the stoke for many more to come. prn.to/3a4rY7P
