RESUME Builder helps the homeless
If only individuals experiencing homelessness could “just get a job,”
Wouldn’t that solve the problem? Well, it’s rarely so simple. In 2017, only 22 percent of adults experiencing homelessness were confirmed to have been employed that year. While it’s apparent that some individuals can gain and keep employment, these low figures suggest there may be something more to it than the usual stereotypes surrounding the issue.

17 DISCOUNTS AVAILABLE TO THOSE WHO HONORABLY SERVED OR ACTIVELY SERVE OUR COUNTRY BY AARON MICHAEL
Military veterans and those on active duty have sacrificed their lives, comfort and choice of employment in the name of protecting American freedom. Without the US military, America as we know it would not exist and millions of Americans would not be able to live their lives in peace and prosperity. As a sincere thank you, our country and plenty of companies who employ veterans offer life changing discounts and even free products and services exclusively to members of the military and their immediate family members. Currently, there are many privately held companies and federal programs available to past and present serviceman that are widely used. A few common examples are the VA and the GI Bill; however, many are unaware of the smaller yet equally useful options that are available. This is our purpose. We hope to shed light on products and services that will increase the quality of life not only for you but for your wife, your sons and your daughters. Enjoy your savings and please spread the word with others who might also benefit. Thank you for your service.

Current Federal Relief Could Largely Solve Homelessness Right Now!
Written by NAEH January 18, 2022
Author(s): Joy Moses, Sharon McDonald
Over the last two years, federal pandemic relief dollars were allotted to several government programs, creating the potential to substantially end literal homelessness for the overall population (or at least for some highly vulnerable subpopulations). Two government programs are particularly relevant: Emergency Housing Vouchers (EHVs), which provide long-term rental subsidies to a few; and Emergency Rental Assistance (ERA), which can provide short-term rental subsidies to many. Funds have already been allocated and are in circulation for each of these programs. However, for those states and communities that have yet to strategically coordinate these resources towards ending literal homelessness, it’s not too late to change course
Emergency Housing Vouchers
Congress created 70,000 EHVs, enough to reach 6 percent of households annually served in the nation’s shelters. This number is notably small. However, targeting EHVs to small and vulnerable subpopulations could have a significant impact on those groups. For example, focusing on people annually served in shelter, the nation’s 70,000 EHVs could serve 45 percent of households with children, or 30 percent of adult-only households headed by someone age 55 and older. Although it is unlikely that every jurisdiction in America receiving EHVs would decide to dedicate 100 percent of their EHVs to one of these subpopulations, these numbers provide a sense of the scale of available resources. Communities that strategically target EHVs can create big impacts in reducing homelessness for particularly vulnerable subpopulations. And, although EHVs have already been allocated, it’s not too late to hone existing plans. As of early January 2022, only 28 percent of the nation’s vouchers have already been issued.
Emergency Rental Assistance
Emergency Rental Assistance (ERA), which was allotted a total of $46.55 billion in two parts, has been a critical component of the federal pandemic response. According to the National Low Income Housing Coalition, as of mid-January 2022, 39 percent of ERA1 funds and 82 percent of ERA2 funds were unspent and continue to be available. News outlets, policymakers, and others often highlight how these funds can (and are) being mobilized to prevent evictions. However, these dollars can also reach people experiencing literal homelessness. Specifically, ERA can provide supports like those offered by Rapid Re-Housing programs—examples include rent payments, security deposits, application or screening fees, utilities, housing search, landlord negotiation, and case management related to housing instability.
Emergency Rental Assistance resources can pack a powerful punch. Here’s an example: if just 18 percent of the allotted $46.55 billion were targeted towards assisting people out of homelessness, $7500 (a number chosen for illustration purposes) could be dedicated to every American household that is annually served in shelters. These calculations are based on the number of households (individuals and families with children) that experienced homelessness in 2018 (the most recent year for which such data is available)—thus they do not account for population changes occurring as a result of the pandemic. The $7500 subsidy value was chosen for illustrative purposes, but would cover at least 3 months of fair market rent for a 2-bedroom apartment in the nation’s most expensive jurisdictions. As a practical matter, individual household circumstances vary—notably, households with individuals would likely have cheaper rents and $7500 could last several more months (and possibly a year or more) if the household has additional income from work and/or other benefits programs.
