Housing Support for Veterans

[This is important relayed information, received today. Homeless Veterans should certainly look into benefiting from a housing-support program the government provides. While the 'early' dates on the schedule, below, have past, there is still time for veterans to get to an application-preparation meeting.]

The Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Department of Veterans Affairs Supported Housing (HUD-VASH) Program, through a cooperative partnership, provides long-term case management, supportive services and permanent housing support. VASH recipients receive a permanent rental subsidy through “Housing Choice” section 8 vouchers in conjunction with long term supportive services to foster stability and recovery from physical and mental health issues, substance use, and functional concerns contributing to or resulting from homelessness. To be eligible for this program, Veterans must be VA Health Care eligible, homeless and income-eligible. Requires participation in long-term case management services.

"Requires participation in long-term case management services" means the veterans will be DIAGNOSED in the medical records as SERIOUSLY MENTALLY ILL, ADDICTED, and ALCOHOLIC FOR LIFE and required to:

Mandatory never-ending "How do you feel?" group therapy.

Mandatory take handfuls of Psycho-Wacko meds that don't work.

Mandatory conversion to the very offensive & hostile 12-Step AA/NA Religious cult and attend their church meetings for the rest of your life.

The only places that take the VASH vouchers are know as INSANE ASYLUMS for veterans because the VA has staff, armed guards, and snitches watching every move the veterans make....

More obstacles revealed in effort to make Mather cottages habitable

Mold, asbestos and lead paint, oh my! The 35 cottages out at Mather Community Campus seem closer to being condemned today than ever again being inhabited. But the expectation that some of the cottages can and will be restored to house homeless families before spring abides. A report in the Sacramento Bee tells us ... Some [of the cottages] have extensive mold, a county analysis showed. It's not clear how the county planned to deal with lead paint and asbestos, [Rancho Cordova] Councilwoman Linda Budge said. Still, hope of getting some of the cottages in shape such that homeless families can move in is in play, though not before New Year's day.  Word of where the money might come from to make needed restorations has not been forthcoming, though it is known that the Winter Shelter Task Force hopes to hold a fundraiser to boost the pool of funds to meet the need to keep homeless people warm and safe. At the end of October, placing families, totalling 105 individuals, was

Ron Russell and Summerhills Realty

Readers of this blog should be aware that I am receiving some information that Summerhills Realty and someone named Ron E. Russell is using this blog as a reference in an effort to scam homeless people.  Be aware that Mr. Russell and his business is cited as a possible perpetrator of fraud by a website called Ripoff Report .  See this webpage .  Also, there is this claim of fraud against Ron Russell Properties at the website BizClaims - Latest scams, frauds and complaints . Please be aware that the information of being 'ripped off'' may be coming from only one source is coming from multiple sources, with perhaps as many as twelve persons/couples now pursuing legal action after paying thousands of dollars for services and receiving none of the services that were promised/contracted. While I know neither Mr. Russell nor Summerhills, I do know that an inordinate number of “in links” from readers of this blog have come via summerhillsrealestate.com for quite some time.  I

In an act of Collective Punishment, Loaves & Fishes closes its park in the morning on New Year’s Day

Calvin [a "green hat" in Unfriendly Park] makes the argument for continued incompetent management. Hobbes represents me — only, in real life, I don't have that good a coat . In an act of Collective Punishment, Loaves & Fishes closes its park in the morning on New Year’s Day In one respect — and only one — that I can think of, Loaves & Fishes is NOT hypocritical: The management hates the way America is run and wants to turn it into a backward communist country . Consistent with that, Loaves & Fishes’ management runs its facility like a backward communist country. The People’s Republic of Loaves & Fishes. A seemingly minor thing happened on New Year’s Day. A couple of people smoked a joint in Loaves & Fishes’ Friendship Park and one of the park directors, or both of them, determined, at about 10am, that, in retribution, they would punish all the homeless there by closing the park for the day. This is something the managers of the park do all the
