Social Media Resources
Ideas that spread, win. Use your social media platform to spread the idea that everyone deserves a safe, affordable, hopeful place to call home, and when that’s the case our entire community benefits.
Here are some resources to help you do that:
- Our YIMBYer Blog post
- Our Humanizing Homelessness Blog post
- Our NIMBY to NEIGHBOUR Blog post includes a collection of resources for further reading about why YIMBY is important and how to respond to possible challenges.
