New Jersey Community Development Corporation (NJCDC), Veteran Housing Corp would ask three questions about your housing projects: 1. How much funding, federal tax credits, or government benefits or incentives from all government sources did the projects receive? 2. What is the affordability period for each project? 3. What guarantees exist that tenants will not be displaced after the "affordability period expires? Every local, state, and federal housing authority should adopt the State of Vermont's "permanent affordability" policy as a model for all future government funded or subsidized housing projects or developments, no exceptions! https://lnkd.in/eFEUC8c8

Are you struggling to find your purpose? You're not alone. Many of us have been on the same journey. But the truth is, purpose can be found in many ways, including occupation, acts of service, and hobbies. If you're currently between jobs, volunteering, community service, or creative endeavors can help you find purpose. I started volunteering with Habitat for Humanity, picking up construction and local ReStore shifts, and found much enjoyment in swinging hammers and helping build houses. If construction sounds like something you'd enjoy, click on the link below to find your local Habitat for Humanity Chapter and sign up!

3rd attempt to post. Though at DEA they are not so proud to highlight their shortcomings that they have no issue hiding from taxpayers. They removed my previous posts which simply expresses DEA's willingness to hide their incompetence and disabled comments on the appropriate post. If this firm put out the truth and numbers of how many things they had to redo on this Highway 20 Safety Upgrade between Corvallis and Albany OR taxpayers would have something to say about this firm’s laughable ranking. How about it DEA, put out an itemized list of everything that had to be done two or three times because it wasn’t done right in the first place and how much taxpayers money was wasted in the process. In my driveway alone they had to do multiple things more than once. No wonder ODOT never comes in on budget with incompetence like this! Taxpayers should not have to foot the bill for this! DEA was contracted for at least the Newberg-Dundee Bypass, the worst one, up 239% from original estimate. https://lnkd.in/epv6uESx

"Beginning in 2023, NDN Collective will begin dispersing a $50 million Community Trust Fund from the Bush Foundation". The NDN Collective, will disperse $50 Million on behalf of the Bush Foundation to #indigenous communities throughout #minnesota, #northdakota, and #southdakota. The same Bush Foundation was founded by Archibald Bush who made his fortune from 3M a company that helped to create #foreverchemicals and the #pfas industry while he, Archibald Bush, was an executive, which impacts us all including disproportionately #indiancountry. Maybe its just a #coincidence that the Bush Foundation decided to "give" some in #indiancountry $50 Million the same year that 3M has started to settle #foreverchemicals and #pfas lawsuits to the tune of billions of dollars. Maybe not. NDN Collective also according to their Impact Report receives $$ from the McKnight Foundation, founded by William McKnight, who also made his fortune from 3M. #pfas #foreverchemicals #3m #indiancountry #minnesota #northdakota #southdakota #tribe #tribes #tribal #indigenous #indigenouscommunities #tribalcommunities #indiancommunities #greenwashing #coincidence #bushfoundation #mcknightfoundation #ndn #ndncollective #ngo #ngos #litigation #pollution #chemicals #liability #philanthropy #philanthropies #nativephilanthropy #nativegiving #giving #tribalphilanthropy #gives https://lnkd.in/gMu3XbAG

Are you engaged in your community? 🤔 In 2023, Serve Virginia and the Virginia Service Foundation introduced the Virginia Community Engagement Index (VCEI). This groundbreaking study aims to understand the current state of service, volunteerism, and civic action in Virginia, as well as to identify the community's top priorities. Take a look at some of the interesting highlights such as, "Why we serve," "Where we serve," "how we serve," and more! https://lnkd.in/eQszbxnE

Here I am, as pigeon-toed as ever in this clip 🤣. I will share the full 5 minutes when it's available, but this one minute crams in information literacy (JSTOR), financial literacy (FINEQUITY org) and opportunity (Project Impact @ BMCC) for people impacted by the criminal legal system. "If you've ever borrowed a pack of cigarettes to buy a blanket, and turned that pack into 2, then you're an entrepreneur" is one of my favorite ways to demonstrate the entrepreneurial spirit of people in prison. #MBA #informationliteracy #prisoneducation #financialliteracy #prisoneducation
