'Astronomical numbers': St. John's food banks, shelters face rising demand
High rates of food and housing insecurity means that food banks and shelters are seeing more people coming through their doors. To address that upward trend, some non-profit organizations in St. John's are calling for government action — and they have ideas on how to address systemic issues.

@apostolos_kl This is incewsingly true throughout much of the world -- certainly here in rural Scotland.

We need to stop housing being treated as fungible property; which probably means we need to take ALL housing out of private ownership, into either local housing co-operatives or into local government ownership.

The #gas deal with #Japan does not make any sense to everyday Australians, and it was made in the John Howard's era.

He also boosted negative gearing and introduced a 50% CGT discount on PPOR in 1999, and led us to the current housing affordability crisis.

Yet the mainstream media keeps portraying John Howard as the best economic steward in Australian history. :eyeroll:

The last few days have been really hard as I once again try to address housing insecurity.

It's a difficult thing to realize that some of the help you receive will come from folks that demand something of you for it. It's why I won't ask my mother for help, and it's why I am so looking forward to this week.

I've got an interview on Tuesday and another Wednesday. I just have to make it through.

San Francisco green-lights affordable housing for LGBTQ+ seniors

Housing insecurity is a huge bugbear for middle class people, one I am still in the process of wrangling. We are brought up in such a way that the threat of housing insecurity becomes a thought terminating cliché, it is unthinkable, it is THE WORST, it feels like death. To the point that most middle class people can't even consider the notion of paying rent a bit late.

This fear is blown so much out of proportion. It's what gives landlords so much power, because most people are so deeply cowed, even if they don't think capitalism and its ways of dominating land and housing and people is right. They still go along with it, when mass organised rent strikes could be such easy and effective actions. Why obey landlords at all?

EMERGENCY! EVICTION IMMINENT!

We are two disabled abuse survivors struggling to survive the harsh finnish winter. Our slumlord style landlord has kicked us out for asking that the chimney and other stuff be fixed and POC workers not be exploited.

I expect the eviction notice to be issued within the next week.

Because @DionRa is undocumented, we can't seek housing benefits or go to homeless shelters. Your generosity is our only hope.

What's on my mind? Why, thinking about how #TrumpSucks is the #AntiSolarPunk! He's trying to get rid of solar, making the super-rich even richer, cutting funding to libraries (#LibraryOfThings), causing more #FoodInsecurity and #HousingInsecurity, allowing corporations to destroy #NaturalPlaces, etc., etc. What #SolarPunk promotes is everything that Trump is trying to destroy!

Hey all! I am day 5 of my fundraising to move out. For those of you just seeing this post, I am fundraising $2,500 to move out of my current house, as my landlord consistently breaks my privacy, and I do not earn enough to move into a new house. My lease will also not be continued once it is over. Every week I face the threat of being evicted, and risk homelessness at all times.

Currently raised $160 / $2500

Subathon length: 3 days

However, I am gonna do something special while fundraising!

For every $50 raised I will add 1 day to a subathon counter, and once we hit our goal then Ill do a subathon from the new house! Please, if you can donate even some pennies that would be amazing.

P.s
Thank you all so much for the support. It has been really heart warming seeing everyones generosity. I love you guys and all of the communtiy.
