Mayor David Newman

Today marks a proud and hopeful milestone for the City of Thousand Oaks with the opening of the Thrive Grove Navigation Center, which uses tiny homes to provide temporary housing and wraparound services for unhoused residents.

The people of Thousand Oaks asked us to address homelessness, and today we made good on that request. Thrive Grove represents our commitment to compassion, to dignity, to the belief that everyone deserves a path forward.

Interested in learning more? The Navigation Center is hosting an open house this Saturday, 5/10, from 10-4.

The homeless university lecturer: ‘There’s a sense of shame around it’

irishtimes.com/ireland/housing

True. If this sort of thing happens in your so-called “first world” country, you should feel a profound sense of shame about it. It shows that your society is failing.

With the levels of wealth and technology we have in countries like Ireland, having homelessness is a choice. We’ve chosen cruelty. We’ve said we’re ok with it. So yes, we should definitely be feeling ashamed.

You know who is the last person who should feel ashamed? A homeless person whom we have failed as a society.

aby in a conclave

We had our rental inspection this morning, I think it was fine but I won't know for certain until they get back to us and we resign the lease.

Did you know that renters in other countries don't have to jump through these hoops? That long term renting is normalised in other countries because renting isn't just seen as a step in the ladder to house ownership?

Australia has to do something, because fewer people are able to buy houses so will be renting their entire lives. Having a 6-monthly reminder (and often more frequently!) that you can be homeless at almost no notice because someone just feels like it is a leading cause of stress and has poor effects on both mental and physical health.

This is becoming worse now that home ownership is also seen as just a step in the property investment ladder, and that the goal is shifting from owning your own home to owning investment properties.
