In a conversation with an #OccupationalTherapy grad student months ago, she was telling me about her doctoral research project, which was how climate change may affect homelessness. Which led me down a rabbit hole of research questions we need answers to 🧵
If I had a lab in the community, and unlimited funding, I would be interested in digging into these:
Using geocoding and claims data what can we learn about ICD10 codes for weather exposure -related diagnoses?
How are occupations engaged in shelter or transitional housing settings in the summers vs the winters?
In regions of US where there are fresh water shortages, how do people on the streets engage in water management via drinking, bathing?
What concerns, if any, do people in encampments have about severe weather readiness?
And finally, one that hits close to home, assessing the readiness of shelters and other frontline housing programs during inclement weather events

The last 8 months we've been working towards what happens at midnight tomorrow: @PeterandPaulSTL is taking over operational management of the Biddle Housing Opportunities Center. They come with a fantastic team & a bed capacity of 101, not including potentially 20+ for overflow Caption: Peter & Paul Commu...
My role is to lead the transition, work closely with the current manager to oversee data, client, facility, and staffing logistics, which will also include building a large team of clinicians and support staff on top of the extant team.
This will make us one of the largest shelter providers in the region, not including the expansion project we have in the works for 2023 and 2024. We're thrilled about the opportunity, but the truth is it's not enough. We need more services, more permanent housing.

I'm 37 years old and to this day no one has convinced me that pandas aren't CGI or just people in little bear costumes. 🧵

For Black History Month I wanted to share an interesting story about my own family, dating back to the 1800s. From slaves to free people. 🧵 #TouchTheAncestors

My Granny Corrine was born in 1916 in Arkansas to a woman named Cora. Cora was born during reconstruction, raised by a mother and father both born into slavery. Cora's father's name was Thomas, and his father was born in Africa. And that's where our line stops. 1/
It's well documented that our family's love of education goes way back. And the roots were laid during reconstruction. Thomas committed himself to establishing a family environment of curiosity, and this was passed on to one of his sons, and Cora's brother, William. 2/

What a lot of you don't know is that me, my wife, and our two kids had COVID earlier this year. It was the most terrifying thing I've ever been through, and my hopes is that our story can inspire at least one person to wear a mask and distance yourselves. *Thread*
Me and @CEDme are both essential staff. She's in healthcare, and I'm homeless services. We could spend some but not all of our days working from home, which meant that we still needed to send our kids to daycare/camp. One of our kids was exposed at the daycare/camp; day one. 1/?
2/ After they were exposed, and after the facility found out that there was exposure, they quickly sent out notices and shut down the facility. We were on high alert, monitoring symptoms, when low and behold, a couple days later, symptoms! This was day 3.
