Housing Resources
Welcome to Housing Resources for the City of Minneapolis and western metropolitan Twin Cities, MN.
Or, the counties of Hennepin, Carver and Scott. To be clear, the subject of "Housing" refers to anyone that needs a place to live. This includes everyone from those that had housing, but lost it because of a natural disaster, or an unnatural tragedy like fire or lack of ownership.
I began developing this Project, doing all of the associated work involved with it, while being in the shelter system. I was there in the shelter system while other men and women dealt with the issues of finding housing. Bottomline, the "helping" community has significant issues addressing these issues, and are an extension of the mainstream society that facilitates perpetual poverty and a culture of "homelessness." All the while attempting to "end" "homelessness." The "helping" community is unfortunately continues to do the same thing that repeatedly fails to accomplish it's goal. All the while hoping for a different outcome. Many would say that is the definition of insanity.
Developing these listings will take a great deal of work. it will be as much to expose just what we are actually doing in our community, as well as provide genuinely accurate and up to date, trustworthy resource information, starting with people most in need.
Please stay tuned, and even send us feedback and updates that will help us in the endeavor.
David Jordahl, developer of the CSR Direct Project.
Housing Forum
Every Resource Subject has a dedicated Forum for News, Information, and Discussion regarding that particular subject.
The Goal here is to provide a place where the community can go to provide input and feedback about current resources provided the community. There are going to be rules and limitations to make sure the information is accurate, and confirmed or unconfirmed. We will help lead research to confirm or correct information added online.
PDF Introduction
PDF Printable Documents are universally formatted documents that can be emailed, printed, uploaded to an image editor and edited like a jpg image. And then, converted back into a PDF document.
And, there is a number of software programs where the content can be downloaded or converted into a PDF document. And, in these cases, if that document has text that are hot links to web addresses, those hot links will still work in that PDF document.
PDF Document Short List
The PDF Document Short List happens to be the the Google Spreadsheet Short List converted to a PDF Document. When the Spreadsheet is done, this PDF will be created and uploaded to this section for people to download.
PDF Document Full List
The PDF Document Full List is a Word Document that essentially has all the same content as the Official Page Listings. That Word Document converted to a PDF Document to be uploaded and linked here for download. This list will be mainly used by community centers and service agencies that need a comprehensive list that is also up to date. That is how trust is built and genuine help provided to the community.
PDF Document Flyers
The PDF Document Flyers are printable documents that anyone can download and print to share in their particular community for social outreach and awareness.
Page Listings Introduction
Official Page Listings are more comprehensive resource listings that also serve to help with SEO search results. SEO means "Search Engine Optimization." There are people, groups, businesses, and even government agencies that are out there on the internet using Data Mining software to collect as much information as possible. Google is a search engine, the worlds best, matter of fact. If a Resource website has a page that contains more comprehensive resource information, and Google (and all the others) can data mine that information. People searching for that kind of information will find it easier.
Rapid Rehousing Programs
There are certain service groups and agencies that focus on rehousing those newly in the shelter system.
