HomeAid Building a Future Without Homelessness

Who’s tracking affordable housing years after it opens?

In this conversation, we discuss what can happen when affordability requirements tied to Low-Income Housing Tax Credit properties begin to expire—and why preserving existing affordable housing should remain part of the conversation.

Building more housing matters. So does protecting the affordable housing communities already depend on.

“Housing First does not mean housing only.”

Housing can provide the stability someone needs to move forward, but it works as part of a larger system—one that includes the services and resources people need to remain safely and stably housed.

A message worth revisiting. 💛

Last summer, we shared our review of John Lewis’s Across That Bridge—a powerful reflection on perseverance, compassion, and the role each of us can play in creating change.

Those lessons continue to resonate with our mission at HomeAid. Building a future without homelessness takes more than housing alone. It takes community, dignity, understanding, and people willing to work together.

A safe place to come home to can change the way a child experiences the school year. 🏡📚

For children and families experiencing homelessness, stable housing can mean greater consistency, a stronger sense of community, and room to heal, learn, make friends, and grow.

Our nonprofit partners see those transformations every day—and HomeAid is proud to work alongside them to help make those spaces possible.

“What I think is remarkable about HomeAid is it is love and dedication in action.”

This back-to-school season, we’re reminded that when a community comes together, everyone has something they can give—and every contribution can help create a stronger foundation for a child’s future.

For one year, Unsheltered Conversations has created space to listen, learn, and look beyond the statistics and stereotypes surrounding homelessness.

In our latest blog, Scott Larson reflects on the people, perspectives, and lessons that have shaped the podcast’s first year—and why meaningful conversations are an important part of creating meaningful change.

Because before we can change systems, we often need to change understanding. And understanding begins with listening.

As we enter year two, we hope you’ll keep learning alongside us.

Back to school means new classrooms, new routines, and new opportunities—but for some families, school is also an important connection to food, resources, and support. 🎒

On Unsheltered Conversations, Taylor Booth of HomeAid Southern Nevada and Justin Zaricki of Tri Pointe Homes share how school pantry projects are transforming unused classrooms into welcoming spaces where students and families can access essential resources with dignity.

It’s a powerful example of what can happen when communities build together.

As the new school year begins, revisit their conversation on food insecurity, housing stability, and supporting families beyond the classroom.

Some roles come with a responsibility to speak up when someone may be experiencing abuse or neglect.

A mandated reporter—sometimes called a mandatory reporter—is a person legally required to report known or suspected abuse or neglect involving children, older adults, or dependent adults. Depending on state law, this may include social workers, healthcare professionals, teachers, and law enforcement officers.

Understanding terms like this helps us better understand the systems designed to protect people experiencing vulnerability—and how each part of the community plays a role.

Know the language. Understand the system. Help build safer, stronger communities.

Behind every strong HomeAid affiliate are people committed to leading, learning, and building relationships that move our mission forward. 🏡

In our newest blog, Chief Expansion Officer Robin Arnett shares what it’s like to help welcome and support new Executive Directors across the HomeAid network—from the hiring process and in-person training to the conversations and mentorship that continue long after onboarding ends.

It’s a reminder that leadership isn’t something we build alone. When our leaders feel supported, our affiliates grow stronger—and so does our ability to serve individuals and families experiencing or at risk of homelessness.

Having a place to call home gives us something we may not always stop to think about: safety and stability.

In the newest episode of Unsheltered Conversations, Ali Wolf reflects on what it would mean to suddenly lose the security of a steady income and a home—and to begin wondering where you might live or sleep next.

It’s a reminder that housing is more than a physical space. It provides the stability people need to feel safe, settled, and able to move forward.
