Doing things as they have always been done to solve the housing and homelessness crises does not make sense. Many people both in and out of government recognize this. We thank Mane Secretary of State @shennabellows.bsky.social for her support!

A key part of this Initiative will be partnering not just with labor unions, but also with organizations fighting for housing justice and working to end homelessness. One of these partners is the Mid-Maine Homeless Shelter & Services in Waterville, Maine.
