City Of Atlanta Raises $50 Million To Create Homes For The Homeless

Follow this link:

T he city of Atlanta has made a major stride in combating homelessness. According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution , Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms announced that $50 million has been raised to build houses for over 500 families who are without shelter. Mayor @KeishaBottoms announced that Atlanta had reached its goal of raising $50 million to provide 550 homes for the city’s homeless population. https://t.co/qeBTn1YlE5 — AJC (@ajc) August 26, 2019 The HomeFirst Atlanta initiative—which was launched in 2017 when former Mayor Kasim Reed was in office—was created after Atlanta’s largest shelter shuttered. The shelter served over 500 individuals each night. In an effort to develop a sustainable solution for the homeless population, community leaders and political officials teamed up with the United Way Regional Commission on Homelessness and Invest Atlanta to develop a fund that would provide housing so that individuals could focus on rebuilding their lives. Half of the $50 million came from the Homeless Opportunity Bond sale led by Reed and the rest of the funds were from private donors. Bottoms believes that this collaborative effort will make lasting changes in the lives of individuals who need assistance. “HomeFirst will create 550 units of permanent supportive housing that will be part of larger developments that will contribute, in aggregate, more than 2,500 units of affordable housing,” she said in a statement, according to The Atlanta Voice . “We are building a compassionate community of trusted partners who approach homelessness in a strategic, transparent and accountable way. The results show that it is working.” Organizers of the initiative are aiming to make resources more accessible for those struggling with homelessness. “It is a miss-perception that many people have: that homelessness is represented entirely by the people they see on the streets,” Jack Hardin , Co-Chair of the Atlanta Regional Commission on Homelessness told the news outlet. “A far larger proportion of people experiencing homelessness have incomes and function at very high levels, but live on the margins of the economics of our society and any hardship can derail.” There have been several projects launched in Atlanta to combat the city’s homelessness issue. Earlier this year, Gwinnett officials awarded nearly $1 million to an organization that had plans to build two shelters in the county.

Jana and Joy-Anna Duggar Share Spa Day Following Miscarriage

It’s great to be able to lean on family in trying times. That’s exactly what Joy-Anna Duggar is doing in the wake of her heartbreaking miscarriage . This week Jana Duggar pulled a classic move to help Joy-Anna unwind and beat the blues. That’s right, it’s a Girls Day, Duggar sisters style. On Wednesday, Jana treated Joy-Anna to a salon session. Joy was sure to post the outing on her Instagram.  The 21-year old had taken a moment of social media silence after the miscarriage but she’s recently resurfaced , showing fans that she’s hanging in there. Both of the girls look cheerful in Joy-Anna’s post. The sisters are smiling for the camera and sitting back in big, squishy salon chair. It would be hard not to feel perked up in a room so brightly lit and full of potted flowers. “She took me to lunch, nails, coffee, & shopping!” Joy exclaimed in the caption for her post. She included a few emoji to help illustrate the story of her day: a salad, nail polish, a coffee cup, and a shopping cart. Joy was clearly grateful for the good time, and thanked Jana and Anna in her caption for helping to make it all happen. “Thank you, @janamduggar for spoiling me today!” She captioned. “And thank you @annaduggar for keeping Gideon!” She added. One of the perks of a big, tight-knit family is the built-in daycare service. Finally, Joy closed out her post with some hashtags: #greattimegreattalks, #iloveyou, #shespoilsme These sure sound like the words of someone who had a wonderful day, and really needed it. Joy’s fans and friends got the same impression, with many writing in to voice their love and support. “Aww, Joy,” Jana wrote back, “You’re too kind.” “I love you so much!” she added, with a kissing and heart emoji. It sounds like thing went really well with Anna back at home, too. “Y’all need to do this more often!” Anna wrote in the comments. “Gideon is the happiest little boy ever!” she exclaimed. She added, “We had a great time with him!” along with some pink hearts. Another comment came from Lauren and Josiah Duggar’s joint account. “Sister dates are the best!” they captioned. “So glad y’all got to do this!” Josiah and Lauren have a better idea than most what Joy must be going through.  The couple experienced a devastating miscarriage of their own last October. We’re so relieved to see Joy-Anna out on the town with loved ones. We know she’s been handling the aftermath of her miscarriage about as well as anyone could hope. Anyone would be depressed and heartbroken after losing a child. Joy clearly finds a lot of strength from her devout faith, but she’s fortunate to have a great support network in her family too.

Kelly Dodd and Dr. Brian Reagan: It’s Over!

A number of The Real Housewives of Orange County castmates seem to agree: Kelly Dodd is the one to beat this season. But Kelly has her own life outside of the show, and has just made one major change. She and Dr. Brian Reagan have broken up, though it's not entirely clear who made that call. Kelly Dodd was clearly enjoying herself on a girls' night out when she took to her Instagram Stories to share some news. “The universe is telling me I broke up with Dr. Brian, woo!” Kelly announced. Disclaimer: despite her demeanor and the way that she repeated things, we cannot speak to whether or not she had been drinking. “And,” Kelly continued. “They all know why.” “This is why I’m breaking up with Brian for good,” she said without further explanation. “This is the last time,” Kelly continued, speaking on her Instagram Story. That sort of declaration could refer to anything from being late to dinner to domestic abuse and all that falls in between. “No going back to this a–hole,” she affirmed. “At all.” “Here’s our song. I broke up with Dr. Brian,” Kelly announced as Queen's “Another One Bites The Dust played. Triumphantly, she declared: “Another one bites the dust!” Late on Thursday, Kelly took to a regular Instagram post a more … calm and thoughtful acknowledgement of the split. “Dr. Brian Reagan posted that we broke up,” Kelly's caption begins. That's a very different tone than we were hearing in her Stories, and almost seems to imply that it was his call and not hers. “I’m deeply saddened,” she continues. “And I only wish him the best !!” “Good Luck,” Kelly expressed. “You are a talented surgeon!! I loved you deeply.” Just a little over a week ago, Kelly was singing a very different tune as she spoke to Us Weekly . “We have fun together,” Kelly shared. “And,” she continued. “We love our families together and we blend their families.” Kelly added that she felt “like we have a modern family.” “My daughter loves him,” she added. “And I love his son.” “There’s just so many benefits,” Kelly referred to in terms of dating Dr. Brian. One such benefit, she pointed out, was that “he lives in La Jolla.” “So it’s fun to go to La Jolla,” Kelly assessed. “Just a change of atmosphere.” However, Kelly apparently realized that Dr. Brian was benefitting from their relationship, too. “He wanted his business on the show. I was just a means to get there,” Kelly alleged in comments. “And I only realized that after I caught him cheating on me,” she lamented. “And realized he's been seeing someone else all along.” Dr. Brian has, for the record, totally denied using her for fame and the allegation of cheating. He seems to want to move on — and he's not alone in that. It is now reported that Kelly is dating journalist Rick Leventhal. In case that sounds rushed, note that Kelly has since clarified that she and Dr. Brian actually broke up on August 3 after 9 months of on-again, off-again. She and Rick apparently met in the Hamptons, and she already feels more “respected” by him than she did by Dr. Brian. Get it, girl.

Linda Thompson, Brody Jenner’s Mom, Is Low Key Feuding With Kaitlynn Carter

Today marks day six of the complicated drama between Miley Cyrus, Liam Hemsworth, Brody Jenner, and Kaitlynn Carter, so let’s get to it.  If you are a dedicated entertainment news junky, please skip the recap. If not, allow me to catch you up:  Brody and his “wife” Kaitlynn, of one year, announced their split two weeks ago . Then, the model headed off on a vacation (bc fake divorce is hard, ok?) with none other than Miley Cyrus. Miley and Liam, who have been married for a short eight months, have also split .  And hours after that news broke, Miley and Kaitlynn were photographed kissing on a boat in Italy .  OK, that’s pretty much everything — along with a few stabs made here and there  — but we should all be on the same page now.   To add to the already complicated and shocking news, another player has joined the game.  That’s right, Brody Jenner’s mother Linda Thompson is now involved and has something to say about her daughter-in-law’s recent actions.  And it’s getting shady, people.  Here’s how it all began: Earlier this week, Linda posted a quote from the Dalai Lama that read, “Silence is sometimes the best answer.” In the comment section, Linda’s followers offered their support while also completely dragging Miley and Kaitlynn in the process. But instead of ignoring them, the mom was out here “liking” these savage Instagram comments.  “I think both boys, Liam and Brody, must be hurting… the girls clearly had no regard for them by allowing their display to be made public,” read one comment that she Liked.  Oh, and she also felt the need to show her support on a comment that said, “His happiness someday will be HER misery.” Um, ouch.  She also Liked a third comment that linked to a blogs article claiming that the photos were set up by Kaitlynn, just to get more followers.  Double ouch. And to make things even more awkward, Kaitlynn saw all of it.  Linda later posted a photo (which honestly just made things more confusing and seemed a tad hypocritical) of a second quote to Instagram.  This one read: Please don’t judge people. You don’t know what it took someone to get out of bed, look and feel presentable as possible and face the day. You never truly know the daily struggles of others.” But one comment stuck out, and yes — it was from Kaitlynn!  “EXACTLY.” she fired.  When Linda saw her comment she quickly stepped down , making it clear that she didn’t mean any harm to Kaitlynn and that she will always hold a special place in her heart.  No grudges here.  Her first comment was a basic purple heart emoji. But don’t worry, the second one had more thought behind it.  “And for the record, honey, the only ‘shade’ I throw is my own shadow walking away from drama,” she snarked. Adding, “You know I love you. I always have & always will,” with a couple more heart emojis. Classic Linda.  Whether or not Kaitlynn even saw her response is unknown, but we think she is pretty unbothered because she is living things up with Miley back in LA. According to E! News, the two are still hanging out and are bonding over their recent splits.  Neither are interested in getting serious right now, and they are “truly having fun,” says a source.  Well that’s all for now! But we’re sure there will be a whole new round of drama tomorrow!  Stay tuned!  View Slideshow: Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth: Relive the Romance!

Tyler Baltierra: Heck Yeah I’m in Touch With My Feminine Side!

Tyler Baltierra has had his ups and downs, getting praised and dad-shamed from one day to the next. This time, a follower came forward with a comment — that Tyler is very in touch with his feminine side. Tyler agrees 100%, and his response should be read by men (especially dads) all across the globe. “You seem to be very comfortable with your feminine side,” one of Tyler’s followers recently commented. Tyler replied: “It has never bothered me.” He recalled: “I was always told as a kid that I was ‘too feminine.'” That is, of course, both an absurd and a hateful thing to say to a child. Fortunately, Tyler overcame those criticisms without letting them warp his perspective. “But I was raised in a household as the only boy,” Tyler explained. “With my single mother and my older sister.” This was absolutely to his benefit. “I think I was blessed to be raised without the idea that I have to trade my sensitive emotions for masculinity,” he reflected. Tyler affirmed: “I was raised by a very strong FEMININE woman.” “And,” he concluded. “I am not ashamed of it at all!” Tyler left the comment, but that wasn’t the end of it. Realizing how important the point that he had made was, he took a screenshot. He then uploaded the image to his Instagram Stories, highlighting the text so that it could not be missed. It’s a lesson that he wants to impart upon his fans and followers. Not all of the baby daddies of Teen Mom are people who should be giving out life advice, but Tyler has a good head on his shoulders. It’s not clear if the commenter to whom Tyler responded was trying to give a compliment or to be shady. To be clear, their words were complimentary. Some people, however, would take those words as an insult. Those people have no business around children. Notice how Tyler didn’t accuse the commenter of levying criticism and also didn’t take it as a compliment. He simply replied to the statement at face value, which is a good tactic when you don’t know the original poster’s intentions. Tyler has faced “criticisms” before over the way that he styles himself and takes care of his body. Rumors that he may be bisexual have circulated for years. Tyler has done a reasonably good job of swatting rumors that he is bi or gay without overdoing it and coming across as homophobic. For the record, taking care of your health and caring about your appearance are not based upon gender and sexuality. Those are just things that people can do or not do for themselves. And if Tyler sets off some people’s “gaydar” … it really doesn’t matter. Only he gets to define his sexuality. The fact of the matter is that Tyler is a father of daughters, and his connection to his feminine side makes him a better dad. He can play with his daughters without being self-conscious or haunted by pernicious ideas that toxic masculinity implanted in his mind. Nova is already benefitting from that. Vaeda will do the same.

June Shannon: Selling Everything She Owns to Keep Geno From Leaving!

It doesn’t get much worse than choosing Geno Doak over her own daughters , but June Shannon continues to worry us all. She and Geno are hosting an everything-must-go sale, and this isn’t some sort of endorsement deal. She’s selling off her own furniture. Is June going broke trying to appease Geno? We knew that June and Geno’s home was a house of horrors. We just didn’t know that it was this bad. Apparently, June is holding a sort of garage sale inside of her home. This means that she’s inviting strangers in so that she can sell off her miscellaneous belongings for quick cash. This is a woman who was previously worth about $1 million. She’s been a reality star for years . Now she’s selling off her own furniture just to make a quick buck. That is so profoundly worrisome. TMZ   got an eyewitness account of June’s home. Parts of the house were vast, empty spaces where clearly June had already parted with whatever was stored there. Other parts of her home were looking much less bare … and downright messy. Visitors witnessed piles of junk mixed in with everyday tools like TV remotes and other electronics mixed in with a haunted-looking doll. June listed items for sale using tools like the Facebook marketplace … where she offered up the home’s only remaining bed . She must have been successful at pawning off her possessions, because June was seen holding a fat stack of cash. All the while, she and Geno rambled almost incomprehensibly on a number of topics, including a massage chair. And then it gets even worse. Apparently some eyewitnesses who entered the home saw needles and syringes strewn about the place. As you may recall, June and Geno were arrested for crack cocaine in March of this year. Since then, June’s behavior has worsened considerably. It certainly appears that Mama June has gone broke. That would mean that she has blown through hundreds of thousands of dollars in a relatively short amount of time. Remember — she’s actively a reality star. New episodes of her show aired this year . What exactly is the money for? The best answer might be for June to enter rehab or fix her broken veneers. The worst-case scenario, which also seems more likely to many fans, is that the cash is for drugs to keep Geno happy. June has shown, time and time again, that she is devoid of all reason when it comes to Geno. When her family and loved ones staged an intervention, she insisted that she would not do any in-patient treatments or stay anywhere overnight. Audiences were scratching their heads and wondering why she’d rather risk her life than do that. It was Lauryn “Pumpkin” Shannon who explained: June was afraid that if she couldn’t keep an eye on Geno, he’d cheat or straight up leave her. No man is worth dying over — Geno least of all. There is one silver lining to June’s apparent desperation to sell all that she owns to keep her alleged druggie boyfriend happy. June will not be able to steal Alana’s money to fund her habit or her boyfriend.  Thankfully, June is legally prevented from accessing those funds. Alana is safely staying with her older sister, Pumpkin, who can access her money only to pay for her — and must provide receipts. June’s downward spiral is hurting her family more than anyone else. We hope that she gets help soon. View Slideshow: June Shannon: Living Out of Vile Hotel Rooms with Crazy BF Geno After Crack Arrest!?
