Moving at the speed of trust Collaboration, compassion and a clear sense of purpose among non-profit agencies and government recently moved more than 30 people out of homeless encampments and into supportive housing

When two Winnipeg encampments that had more than 30 people living in them were about to be cleared earlier this summer, outreach groups, government officials and housing facilitators sprang into action.

The secret to Baltimore's extraordinary year This April, Baltimore saw five homicides.

1. We interrupt this programming for some LEGITIMATELY GOOD NEWS

Violent crime in Baltimore has PLUMMETED to historic lows

How did the city do it?

Baltimore adopted a comprehensive set of "woke" policies, treating violence as a public health issue

My favourite part of organizing events and festivals is all the prep and lead up work then just watching people come and enjoy the amazing work you were a part of building that feeling is the best that calm before it's open for everyone!!!

Dozens moved from encampments into housing Province announces $6.4M for 67 units β€” some already in use β€” as part of homeless plan

Manitobans have begun settling into 67 new social housing units announced Friday as part of the provincial government’s homelessness strategy.

The province needs to declare a public health emergency. Expand safe supply programs and open multiple safe consumption sites Now anything less is saying we are ok with hundreds of manitobans dying

As someone who grew up idolizing independent record labels like Dischord and Matador I was fascinated (in a sad way) by this @nicksylvester.bsky.social piece on the diminished role of the indie in today’s music industry

Digging @laurajanegrace.bsky.social’s new album.
Given the Christian music scene in the late 90s and learning she is around my age and apparently started her first band with a church youth group I can’t help but hear this as punk rock in (church) basements.
