Machelle Ruiz advocates for the need for more shelters and community support for the unhoused, highlighting the urgent role of public health and advocacy. Dan Walters's commentary on climate change underscores the financial repercussions of inaction against the backdrop of a rising economic cost due to climate threats, countering the narrative that addressing these issues is overly burdensome.
As a property manager, I want to inform others that there are housing options available, such as below-market-rate apartments and low-income housing, that can help alleviate homelessness.
Communities can help out and make a difference by providing essential services and advocating for the unhoused, highlighting their humanity and rights.
Climate change is an urgent threat that deters our economy; the cost of inaction is far greater than the small costs associated with addressing it.
