Church member Moe Wright, who has spent his career building affordable housing in the Bay Area, has been working for years on a solution to the homelessness crisis in Alameda County. An enormous part of the solution is straight-up funding, and you have a singular opportunity to pass a half-cent sales tax that could provide up to $1.5 billion over its lifetime to tackle homelessness from every angle, including:
- Provide housing assistance, mental health resources, and substance use treatment for our most vulnerable residents.
- Help people who are at risk of homelessness stay in their homes.
- Increase hygiene and sanitation services.
- Support homeless veterans, seniors and families with services.
- Increase employment opportunities through job training.
- Shelter people experiencing homelessness to reduce COVID-19 impacts.
The Measure needs advocates, including phone bankers! If you have been looking for a way to make a difference in your community from the safety of home, consider this your message from God. Even making a few calls (do it with a friend or partner!) could make this effort successful, which would have an enormous downstream effect for our most vulnerable neighbors, and all of us who live in the Bay Area.
