☆ The Shelters Keeping People Out of Shelters
  + stars: | 2024-03-07 | by ( Aidan Gardiner | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Every day, people go to homeless shelters as a place of last resort. But some shelters, like the Marshall House in Hartford, Conn., are trying to help by turning people away. On a cold October morning, Ms. Rucker sat with Margaret Guzman; her boyfriend, Alex; and their 2-year-old son, Jayden, in a drafty intake room at Marshall House. Ms. Rucker said she had no beds for them, but then asked, “Do you have any family?” Around a small round table, she began to gently probe. They kept talking while Ms. Rucker listened.

☆ Disasters Forced 2.5 Million Americans From Their Homes Last Year
  + stars: | 2024-02-22 | by ( Aidan Gardiner | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
An estimated 2.5 million people were forced from their homes in the United States by weather-related disasters in 2023, according to new data from the Census Bureau. The numbers, issued on Thursday, paint a more complete picture than ever before of the lives of these people in the aftermath of disasters. The United States experienced 28 disasters last year that each cost at least $1 billion. But until recently, the number of Americans displaced by those disasters has been hard to estimate because of the nation’s patchwork response system. Understanding the human toll of disasters, not just the financial costs, is increasingly urgent as climate change supercharges extreme weather, experts say.

☆ ‘These Old Guys?’ Short on Lifeguards, the City’s Oldest Swimmers Step Up

Mr. Kalmann grew up one of four boys in the Netherlands. Mr. Kalmann jumped in and pulled two of the men to shore. Initially, Ms. Jacobus’s friends warned her that it was too dangerous and pointed out that she would be working more hours as a lifeguard than she did as a social worker. But like Mr. Kalmann, she felt a deeper calling. She is the daughter of a Lutheran pastor and grew up doing volunteer work before entering social work.

☆ How Philadelphia Kept Thousands of Tenants From Being Evicted
  + stars: | 2023-07-13 | by ( Aidan Gardiner | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +2 min
“It’s one of the best-designed diversion programs in the country,” said Carl Gershenson of The Eviction Lab at Princeton University. Poor tenants tend to spend most of their income on rent, so a medical bill, job loss or unexpected car repairs can lead to a missed payment. The program’s early success, experts said, was helped immensely by the billions of dollars in federal rental assistance money, which Philadelphia used to pay arrears. Though landlords complained that the payouts did not always go smoothly, the possibility of recouping back rent made mandatory diversion more palatable. She enjoyed stable housing with a housing voucher until early 2017, when she was forced out of a home she had lived in for about a decade.
