We are located in Georgia. The problem I see people can’t get house their background. Women are homeless. 18:16:33 From Claudia swaney to Everyone: in may . i will make known the home problem in michigan . 18:16:39 From Karen Rhodes to Everyone: in Mont. Co., MD, so much for the rent stabilization act. So now, one of the county commissioners threw a caveat into the mix. Rent regulation for properties 23 years or less, are EXEMPT from rent regulation. 18:17:06 From Tony McCright/NLC to Everyone: Greetings Everyone. Tony McCright, Prog Mgr, Justice Initiatives team, Natl League of Cities 18:17:19 From Tony McCright/NLC to Everyone: Replying to "in Mont. Co., MD, so..." What's their reasoning behind that? 18:17:57 From Karen Rhodes to Everyone: Replying to "in Mont. Co., MD, so..." Supposedly, it is to get a ROI on their building. But it does not take 23 years to get a ROI on any building. 18:18:53 From Karen Rhodes to Everyone: Replying to "in Mont. Co., MD, so..." I know here where I am now, one building I know of only took 5 years to get a 100 percent ROI on that brand new 12-story building. 18:22:30 From Claudia swaney to Everyone: I am dealing with my daughter who is chronic homeless . in pontiac Mi. 18:22:43 From Mahala Baker to Everyone: Great point Ashia. The trauma cycle associated with being unhoused can be so damaging, both physically and mentally. 18:23:01 From Karen Rhodes to Everyone: Where I am now, I am fighting just to be left alone. I am in the process of appealing a civil rights decision related to trying to keep a roof over my head. I am too old to having to always be on the hot seat trying to defend myself, my character, and m intergrity. 18:23:09 From Tony McCright/NLC to Everyone: Replying to "in Mont. Co., MD, so..." Supposedly is right. In addition to how quickly an owner can get a ROI, a property can change ownership multiple times in two decades so whose to say how long or short it takes. Doesn't make sense but we know that already. \Anyway... 18:23:13 From Maeve Olson (she/her), Bring It Home MN to Everyone: This is so important and so real, Ashia.

They were discontinued during a time of high unemployment, and many cuts were made to programs that provided for basic needs such as food stamps, housing, school lunches, etc. People turned to petty crimes when neither work nor public benefits could be found because they had families to feed. Some still are barred from housing decades after some non-violent petty crime!! There are also people like Vernie Seidel, who at 17 shot the adult male abusing his 12 year old brother. Vernie was never in trouble with the law before that, hasn't been since either.
