assuming the federal passthrough funding for public transit is unchanged—which i doubt, but assume with me

post
and with the MDOT transit funding formula (total ridership by agency as a percentage of sum of total ridership for the state), each increase begets higher funding since no other local agency is pumping ridership at the same scale

I almost made it 3 months without breaking, which is a mind-bogglingly short period of time for so much depravity.
I took my hless friend to get his keys today, but the housing commission was closed. We would have made it in, but he showed up 2 hours late fresh off the pipe and we had to wait…

happens (see the link), i reached my limit. 10,000 people in my county are housed with these funds. Another 15,000 housed with other forms of subsidy from parallel programs. The carnage of 25,000 unsheltered in 2 months is graphically imaginable to me. I cannot shake the rage and the deep sadness.

I did not factor in a near complete interruption and loss of HCVs, which are the main funding tool that moves homeless folks into housing here (more than 70% of total successful exits in 2023).
With the news leaked to the nytimes that we are very close to that reality unless something drastic…

the dark possibilities ahead.
Today i presented my most recent findings to the local CoC board. I think it was the first time they had seen the full scale of the crisis that will unfold with even brief 30-day interruptions to funding beyond the scope of *their* programming. The mood was grim…

1.5 months, which ispretty good by all accounts. That is about half the time it takes the average chronically homeless person in the area to get housed in the pst 12 months. As the homeless data guy, the process was illuminating.
In general i have been able to take things with a stiff upper lip…

If the kids (or the adults) like edison or ford, their old summer resort is now a museum an hour’s trip south in fort myers. It has gadgets and personal affects. www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_R...

You can do all sorts of troubling surveillance of website users through their browser, then store and recall that information conveniently. I have only seen this done for less-than-good purposes.

But clerks are critical to democracy. In Michigan, there are more than a thousand clerks who go through it all not just to run our elections but to make sure their township's, city's, county's needs are met.
I wrote about why it can be so difficult to find clerks: www.votebeat.org/michigan/202...
