🌟 Alexandria United Teens concluded their campaign for Mental Health Awareness Month! AUT youth leaders held a tabling event with resources, flyers, and mental health awareness items to honor student wellbeing. Students and parents also came together at TWU’s community space to participate an art activity to describe what helps them de stress, while also learning about the importance of young people’s mental health. We provided parents and youth with a mental health goodie bag and raffle prizes. This is what community looks like!

Note: This event/message/activity is funded by the City of Alexandria’s Department of Community and Human Services, a participant of the Northern Virginia Su***de Prevention Plan, and funding made possible through a grant from the Virginia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services.

🌟 ¡Nuestros Jovenes Unidos de Alexandria concluyeron su campaña del Mes de la Concientización sobre la Salud Mental! Los líderes juveniles de AUT organizaron un evento informativo con recursos, folletos y materiales de concienciación sobre la salud mental, con el fin de honrar el bienestar estudiantil. Estudiantes y padres se reunieron en el espacio comunitario de ITU para participar en una actividad artística destinada a expresar qué les ayuda a desestresarse, al tiempo que aprendían sobre la importancia de la salud mental de los jóvenes. Entregamos a padres y jóvenes una bolsa de obsequios relacionada con la salud mental, así como rifa de premios. ¡Así es como se ve la comunidad!

Nota: Este evento/mensaje/actividad está financiado por el Departamento de Servicios Comunitarios y Humanos de la Ciudad de Alexandria, un participante del Plan de Prevención del Suicidio del Norte de Virginia, y con fondos posibles gracias a una subvención del Departamento de Servicios de Salud Conductual y del Desarrollo de Virginia.

⭐️ Our members made their last push during Saturday’s Alexandria City Council Budget Public Hearing to ensure the Council supported additional funding for housing. Yesterday, our City Council supported, by a majority, adding over half a million to Emergency Rental Assistance for Budget 2027! This progress would not have been possible without the power and advocacy of our members. City Council will vote on the final budget next week! 

⭐️ Nuestros miembros realizaron su último esfuerzo durante la audiencia pública sobre el presupuesto del Concejo de Alexandria el sábado, para asegurar que el Concejo respaldara la asignación de fondos adicionales para vivienda. ¡Ayer, nuestro Concejo aprobó por mayoría la adición de más de medio millón de dólares al programa de Asistencia de Emergencia para el Alquiler en el presupuesto de 2027! Este avance no habría sido posible sin el poder y la labor de abogacia de nuestros miembros. ¡El Concejo Municipal votará sobre el presupuesto definitivo la próxima semana!

📣 Last night, TWU south Fairfax County community members mobilized at the 2027 budget public hearing to urge Fairfax County Supervisors to allocate funding for mobile home preservation and land acquisition, creation of a locally funded voucher program for low-income households in Fairfax County earning 60% AMI and below, increase funding to the current emergency rental assistance program, and set a 2-cent increase in the real estate tax rate. We need to be proactive and meet the needs of our communities! 🏡

📣 Anoche, miembros de la comunidad de ITU en el sur del condado de Fairfax se movilizaron en la audiencia pública sobre el presupuesto de 2027 para pedir a los Supervisores del condado de Fairfax a asignar fondos para la preservación de casas móviles y la adquisición de terrenos; crear un programa de cupones localmente para los hogares de bajos ingresos del condado de Fairfax que perciban el 60 % del ingreso medio del área (AMI) o menos; aumentar la financiación del actual programa de asistencia de emergencia para el alquiler; y establecer un aumento de 2 centavos en la tasa del impuesto sobre bienes inmuebles. ¡Debemos ser proactivos y satisfacer las necesidades de nuestras comunidades! 🏡
