Aurora council adopts 72‑hour notice and outreach requirement before clearing homeless camps in 6–4 vote After heated public comment and council debate, the Aurora City Council adopted resolution R2026‑22 requiring at least 72 hours’ notice and coordinated outreach before abating unauthorized camps, with exceptions for imminent public-safety risks and certain roadway or CDOT properties.

Aurora City Council's controversial 6-4 vote mandates 72 hours' notice before clearing homeless camps, sparking fierce debate over dignity vs. enforcement.

We need #HousingFirst; we need safe consumption sites; we need a #PlaceForPeople who want to sit and enjoy the city; public bathrooms, trees, transit that works. We need a city that works for people so they can feel safe, like they belong and are part of a community.

"In #Finnland geht die Zahl der Obdachlosen zurück & das seit Jahren. Bald wird Obdachlosigkeit abgeschafft sein. Grund: Das Land wendet das #HousingFirst Konzept an"

👉Schlauer? Definitiv.

Wir zahlen exorbitante Summen (Miete x3) für Unterbringungen anstatt die Miete zu zahlen.

👉Sozialer allemal.

Das sind gute Nachrichten👍 Durch Prävention und #HousingFirst kann Wohnungslosigkeit selten und kurz gehalten werden.

Damit diese Maßnahmen nachhaltig greifen, braucht es inklusivere Zugänge zu leistbarem Wohnen und existenzsichernde Einkommen auch aus sozialen Unterstützungsleistungen.

Here David Brett & Indy Panchi query-prompt one of the protesters. Indy asks, “So you wasn’t consulted, there was no transparency”. “No. Your wel––thank you for the support,” she replies. Did they ask if she was from #NewWest? If not, it's a silly question & moot point. #HousingFirst #HousingForAll

The Most Expensive Mistake We're Making: Why LA Doesn't Prevent Youth Homelessness from Letters to the Housed by Paul Asplund of SecondGrace.LA with a background of a hand woven Union Jack flag symbolizing a public safety net for youth, in particular.

In 2021, Greater Manchester launched a youth prevention program.
Every at-risk young person gets a dedicated coach. No rotation. No handoffs. Someone who stays.
Result: 42% drop in rough sleeping since peak. 23% drop in a single year.

Thank you for sharing this, @fabulavancouver.bsky.social - it's valuable context for #NewWest as we develop our own, smaller, #tinytown. Note to readers - the article is a few months old, but this is one of many I've seen that are cause for optimism and hope. #HousingFirst #HousingForAll

Another #NIMBY hypocrisy occurs when people resist addiction or unhousing remedies EVERYWHERE—when Abbotsford MLA Bruce Banman & Burnaby's Wallace Pong resist projects in *other* communities. When they and groups like #NWP literally *campaign* on opposing remedies like #HousingFirst in #NewWest.

It's hard to believe such complaints from those who claim to care & want to help but who work *so* hard to refuse every remedy. Who offer nothing caring or helpful in response. Who then act victimized when their contradictions are pointed out. #HousingFirst #HousingForAll #NewWest

Obdachlosigkeit in New York: Eine moralische Verletzung Deutschland und Europa setzen auf „Housing First“, um Obdachlosigkeit zu bekämpfen. In New York hat sich das Modell nicht durchgesetzt. Was können wir daraus lernen?

"'Jedes Mal, wenn wir an einem Menschen, der ganz offensichtlich Hilfe braucht, vorbeigehen, ohne zu helfen, passiert etwas in unserem Körper', sagt Hopper. Eine schmerzvolle, unbewusste Botschaft, (...) eine ,moralische Verletzung'".

"'housing first' as opposed to 'treatment first' has been proven as a more effective approach to reducing substance abuse" – @chmacarthur.bsky.social on the proposed Tiny Home Village in #NewWest

Time to finish on my own letter & I encourage everyone to do the same!

#HousingFirst WORKS.

The (as the Brits say) "knock-on effect" of #HousingFirst is all to the good for the larger society.

Housingisahumanright A thought espoused by SamTsemberis for decades. #HousingFirst & Tsemberis have been censored by Trump. In Nov25 HUD issued a proposal to reduce funding for permanent housing subsidies by two-thirds, at least $2.5B in cuts that could jeopardize housing for 170,000 people
