This Week @ The Homeless Coalition
Greater Cincinnati Homeless Coalition

As the affordable housing crisis ever worsens, renters are increasingly vulnerable. People are often fighting inhumane living conditions, rent increases, and flat out displacement. While renters have limited legal protections, amassing power through organizing is a strong tactic for change. While we are currently organizing with people living in 3,656 homes in the City, we are not able to work with everyone. If you, or someone you know, are facing challenges with a landlord, read and/or share this guide to organize. There are many more resources online from other groups and we will update our website with them soon.

REMEMBER: We are short over 40,000 units of affordable housing in Hamiltion County and this number continues to grow.

Cramming as many people as possible into a phone-booth: Fun.

Result: Laughter, getting too close for comfort, pulled muscles, good memories.

Cramming more than 150,000 Hamilton County Residents into 15,581 homes we can afford: Impossible, inhumane and the consequence of bad policy that prioritizes publicly subsidizing the luxury of certain people over the basic needs of other people.

Result: Growing numbers of individuals and families with children experiencing the deep pains of homelessness.

"Cincinnati Mayor John Cranley and Council Member David Mann’s proposal, likely to be approved by City Council next week, to make a one-time allocation of approximately $700,000 from the city-owned Norfolk Southern Railroad into Cincinnati’s new Affordable Housing Trust Fund is a positive step forward. The Affordable Housing Trust Fund was created by City Council on December 12, 2018 after more than a year of advocacy and organizing by Affordable Housing Advocates (AHA) and the Greater Cincinnati Homeless Coalition. (1) Whereas, Hamilton county is short 40,000 affordable homes, 28,000 of which are needed in the City(2), substantial dedicated annual city-revenue sources are needed for the Housing Fund.

...Council passed the Housing Trust Fund without funding, but with a promise to legislate needed dedicated revenue sources. If passed by City Council, this disbursement will be the first funding allocation to the Trust Fund and represents a positive step forward. Since the passage of the Trust Fund, AHA and the Homeless Coalition have been doing the necessary research and preparation to recommend and advocate for significant, annual city revenue sources for the Housing Trust Fund.

In order to rise from this housing crisis, we must annually generate significant city revenue specifically for the Trust Fund. AHA and the Homeless Coalition are dedicated to everyone having a safe place to call home. We must also pass legislation that will protect people from unjust evictions and displacement for profit. Soon, AHA and the Homeless Coalition will announce new and necessary proposed city revenue sources."

Mayor John Cranley just announced $700,000 will be allocated for an Affordable Housing Trust Fund!
Affordable Housing Advocates

Cranley, Mann Proposal Would Put $700,000 in Affordable Housing Trust Fund

If Cincinnati City Council approves it, the one-time contribution would be the first money put into the trust fund created last year.

The proposal would make a one-time contribution of $700,000 from city-owned railroad revenues to the fund, which was created last year without a dedicated revenue source. The Cincinnatus Association will also contribute $1,000 to the fund, the nonprofit announced today. Other funding sources have been proposed, including a potential tax on short-term rentals, though none have been approved by council yet.

The Manse Hotel recently received city historic landmark designation that could help owners Model Group secure tax credits to rehab it as 60 units of affordable housing for seniors. Walnut Hills is one of several Cincinnati neighborhoods that has seen rental prices rise, leaving low-income residents struggling with housing costs.

City-wide, Cincinnati has a gap of almost 30,000 units of housing affordable to low-income renters, data from the Ohio Housing Finance Agency suggests.

Cincinnati City Council will need to approve the one-time $700,000 payment to the trust fund. It will likely vote on the proposal next week.

“We find an RV park willing to take them. We maintain the home as ‘landlords.’ If, after a year, they want to buy the skoolie, then we offer a sliding scale, interest-free payment plan. That money goes back into the nonprofit to build more homes. The idea is to move families off the streets permanently”.

How is homelessness represented in media? Usually not very accurately, and most likely, systemic issues, such as the lack of affordable housing, the lack of living wages, and the lack of housing protections, are not exposed or explored. Use our media checklist next time you see portrayals of homelessness on tv, movies, radio - or even viral videos...

Take a moment to read it over!

Following the President’s State of the Union Address and in the face of dangerous anti-immigrant rhetoric, IJPC was proud to stand with other immigrant-rights organizations to highlight real stories of immigrants and their families. We ask that Congress and the President not fund a border wall, and instead focus money and energy on providing relief and aide to our immigrant neighbors and passing comprehensive immigration reform.

CAIN-Churches Active In Northside added an event.

Get help from an Ohio Benefit Bank counselor or DIY!

CAIN – Churches Active In Northside - is providing free walk-in service during pantry hours to help people file their taxes.

CAIN will have OBB tax counselors available now through April 15th. All sessions are first come, first served.

CAIN wants you to KEEP YOUR WHOLE REFUND! Those interested in using this service will need to bring their W-2s or other tax forms, an ID and social security card, and the information they will need to have their refund direct deposited. It is also ideal to bring the previous year’s taxes, if possible.

Another advantage to filing taxes is the Earned Income Tax Credit. Some childless individuals making under $15,000, or families making under $54,000 can qualify to get supplemental income in the form of a "tax credit". Last year, 892,000 Ohio households claimed the EITC, and received an average refund of $2,465 — but too many families don’t realize they’re eligible. About one in five households who are eligible for the EITC fail to claim it, and miss out on potentially thousands of dollars.

Also those earning under $65,000 per year as an individual or $95,000 as a couple are eligible to e-file their taxes for free through the Ohio Benefit Bank easy to use guided system. Use CAIN’s link to the Ohio Benefit Bank’s self-serve system at http://selfserve.thebenefitbank.org/ums?partner_code=424

If you have any questions, just stop by CAIN during the above hours, or call CAIN 513-591-2246 or email Alan at hospitality@cainministry.org

CAIN is a United Way partner agency, call 211 or visit http://www.makeworkpay.com/ for other free tax filing opportunities.

Sisters of Charity of Cincinnati

On Sunday, Feb. 3, the Sisters of Charity of Cincinnati welcomed S. Christine Okpomeshine to the Community during a special prayer service in the Motherhouse chapel. S. Christine is transferring from the Handmaids of the Holy Child Jesus to the Sisters of Charity of Cincinnati. During the service she was formally welcomed by the Community and offered their support, friendship and prayer as she enters into the transfer process.

Perry Watkins didn't think he would actually be drafted into the Army, not because he objected to serving, but because he was openly gay. Lo and behold, he served in Vietnam and gave 15 years of service as an openly gay man...but then was discharged for being gay. With the help of the ACLU, Watkins fought an 8-year legal battle and eventually won reinstatement. We honor his sacrifices as a service member as well as the deep financial hardships he experienced after being discharged.

You can read AND listen to Watkins' interview with Eric Marcus in the Making Gay History podcast! https://makinggayhistory.com/podcast/perry-watkins/

Hamilton County Public Health turns 100 this year! To celebrate during the month of February, we’re reviewing the years 1919-1929 in public health. Can you guess the greatest contribution to public health during those years? That came toward the end of that decade when Alexander Fleming discovered Penicillin. In 1928, while working on influenza virus, he observed that mold had developed accidentally on a staphylococcus culture plate and that the mold had created a bacteria-free circle around itself. He was inspired to further experiment and he found that a mold culture prevented growth of staphylococci, even when diluted 800 times. He named the active substance penicillin.

February is Black History Month. Check out this article on the intersection of racism and human trafficking.



Link: https://www.sistersagainsttrafficking.org/2019/02/01/february-2019-monthly-reflection/

As we celebrate Black History Month, it seems appropriate to reflect on the intersection of racism with human trafficking.  Almost anywhere in the world, victims of trafficking are disproportionately racial and ethnic minorities.1 African-Americans make up about 12.7 of the total population in the United States,2 however it is estimated that 40 percent of victims of human trafficking are African-Americans, 3 while 77 percent of child sex trafficking victims are non-white.4   Many of these victims live in poverty and have a history of exploitation, substance or sexual abuse, learning disabilities and inadequate support systems.5  

Advocates and researchers have suggested several reasons why African Americans are overrepresented as victims of human trafficking.   Many live in poverty which increases their vulnerability.  Shared Hope International reports that a majority of identified victims in Texas cities are racial minorities and come from households with vulnerable socioeconomic status.6 Traffickers report that they operate more easily in low-income African American communities.7 Ina recent study that looked at the economics of human trafficking, a majority of the traffickers interviewed believed that trafficking black women would result in less prison time if caught.8
 

PLEASE NOTE A CHANGE IN SCHEDULING: The regular bi-monthly Community Forum has been postponed. A later date will be announced.

Please stay warm, and we will see you at the next Community Forum on February 14 🙂

Fair Tax Abatement Strategies For Neighborhoods

March 14: This is the second of three sessions offered to the Cincinnati community at large on the critically important issue of tax abatements. This session will focus on the upcoming expiration of the 1999 Tax Exemption Agreement. This Agreement sets the rules around how tax abatements are negotiated between the Cincinnati Public School Board and the City of Cincinnati. Any re-negotiation of this Agreement has the potential to make significant changes in how our city does development. Implications include: school funding, affordable housing, gentrification, community input on development proposals, environment, transit, and more. This session will have an introduction on the 1999 Agreement, and how neighborhoods currently are included (or not) in development deals, how abatements affect all of us, and how only some pay their full property tax bill. There will be moderated breakouts by topic including transit, school funding, gentrification, preservation, affordable housing, and more. We will collect and uplift the concerns of residents and share them with elected officials as they enter their negotiations. Abatement policy and development processes are complicated, and hard to access. Our communities deserve a voice about what happens in their neighborhoods, and what happens to their tax dollars. This is our opportunity to raise our voices at the precipice of a major policy change opportunity in our City. The first session is hosted by the Woman's City Club of Greater Cincinnati on February 26th, more details at this link: https://www.facebook.com/events/953841758134704/. The third session will be held in April.
