Helping the least fortunate

During this economic turmoil more people may lose their jobs.

The next wave of the financial disaster of Alt-A's and Option ARMS interest rate hikes will begin to take place over the next 2 years. Potentially 8 million people will lose their homes to foreclosures. We currently have over 10% unemployment officially in both Pasco and Pinellas.

This group is dedicated to bringing up solutions to the upcoming homeless situation. What we create as a community is resilience in these tough times. By helping those with the least fortunate we are ensuring their is a net for our society while enabling those down and out a way to benefit the society as a whole.

Subjects such as this list were brought up in several conversations:
1)Volunteer opportunities for homeless to receive fresh vegetables and fruits for food shelters.
2) Retrofitting Motels to make energy efficient apartments for Homeless

We are getting into a time period where some my have a difficult time not by any lack of work or effort, but because of the circumstances that were placed upon them out of their control. We won't be a group that helps those that don't seek to help themselves, We will simply be the guiders to enable any individual that seeks to become self - reliant that ability. Homeless people have rights and are human beings too, they deserve opportunities to provide for themselves.

We have yet to have a steering meeting on the organization's structure so no politics will be discussed, simply solutions.

Today, at church, we discussed how we can help the homeless: Our UU Ministry for Legislation in Tallahassee is working to change laws that oppress the homeless by arresting them, rather then helping them. Last count showed 86,000 homeless in Florida. St. Petersburg is "the second meanest city in the US" for the homeless, having passed 6 new laws against the homeless. I volunteered to be liaison between UUMFL and Code Green Community and so I am volunteering to join this work-group.Hope we can work together
