Tune in this evening to hear our Project Manager, @LatashaJ_MPH discuss today's eviction of @campnenookaasi and why we must move beyond displacement as a solution to unsheltered homelessness. True long-term solutions must address the root causes of unsheltered homelessness.

Very appreciative of this support! This proposed budget amendment will ensure LEAD is able to continue serving the East Lake Street community and provide much needed supportive services to individuals struggling with behavioral health needs, homelessness, and extreme poverty.

I’m bringing forward funding for the Let Everyone Advance with Dignity Program with Council Members Koski and Chowdhury. This is a harm reduction-based, intensive case management for individuals who commit law violations. 5/
