Please stop referring to "the homeless." They're PEOPLE experiencing homelessness. Homeless is a person's housing situation, not WHO s/he is
Great podcast episode featuring my @IBankCA coworker @shrinakurani. Check it out! tenoneten.net/podcasts
.@shrinakurani invests to catalyze emerging managers as part of IBank’s Venture Capital Access Program. IBank participates with meaningful capital, and it is easy to apply! Shrina says she hopes to be "bombarded" with decks from amazing fund managers. tenoneten.net/podcasts
So honored to work side-by-side with these amazing women to ensure Californians who struggle the most have safe and stable places to call home in neighborhoods filled with opportunity. #WomensHistoryMonth #Homes4All

Emotional moment on CNN with @VanJones68 breaking down: "It's easier to be a parent this morning, it's easier to be a dad. It's easier to tell your kids character matters, it matters. Telling the truth matters. Being a good person matters."

1 out of every 5 homeless individuals in CA have been served by Project Roomkey. An unprecedented 22,300 people in 6 months.
Now -- we’re expanding that program and building housing at 1/3 of the average cost.
Project Homekey is a model for the nation.

It’s not often a goverment-funded homeless project comes in:
💰Under budget
📆 On time
🏃🏾From proposal to reality in 3 months
But that’s exactly what Homekey has done
“California awards coveted 'Homekey' homeless housing funds” mercurynews.com/san-jose-pit… – at Sacramento, CA
Keeping Californians in their homes. Know your rights.
Joined Governor Newsom in announcing “Housing is Key” —a multilingual messaging campaign to help tenants, landlords & homeowners access resources to stay housed. Learn more about at: housingiskey.com

If you're in a state where you have the option to vote early, do that now. The more votes in early, the less likely you're going to see a last minute crunch, both at polling places and in states where mail-in ballots are permitted. Then tell everyone you know.
Undeterred by the HUD rollback on affirmatively furthering fair housing, California is moving forward! #wherefoundationsbegin #homes4all

Geographic and racial equity have been baked into Homekey, with dedicated funding for various regions and a goal of addressing the deeply inequitable impact of homelessness on Black and Latino communities across California.
