ONE Stop Project: Homeless Resource Center in Topeka, KS

Based on recent developments, the "ONE Stop Project" refers to the ONE Stop Homeless Resource Center, a collaborative initiative aimed at providing centralized support for individuals experiencing homelessness in Topeka. This pilot program builds on earlier recommendations from a 2024 homelessness reduction report and was officially announced in May 2025. It's designed as a comprehensive hub to streamline access to essential services, reducing barriers for those in need.Key Details

• Location: Let's Help campus at 245 S.W. MacVicar Ave., Topeka, KS. This site already offers food, clothing, and other basic services, making it an ideal anchor for the center.
• Launch Date: Operations began in July 2025 as a pilot program.
• Sponsors and Partners:
  • Compassion Strategies Mobile Access Partnership (MAP) – Integrates mobile outreach directly into the center.
  • Let's Help – Hosts the facility and provides on-site resources.
  • All Hands On Deck Campaign to End Chronic Homelessness by 2030 – Oversees the broader strategy.
  • Impact Avenues – Focuses on support for students experiencing homelessness, led by the City of Topeka and Shawnee County since 2019.
• Services Offered:
  • One-stop access to housing assistance, mental health support, job placement, pet-friendly accommodations (addressing a common barrier for unsheltered individuals with animals), and basic needs like food and clothing.
  • Integration of mobile services for outreach to those not yet ready to visit the center.
• Background and Goals:
  • Stemming from a May 2024 report by Sylver Consulting, which recommended creating a "one-stop shop" alongside ideas like low-barrier shelters and tiny home villages to address Topeka's growing homelessness crisis.
  • The project marks the first phase of the All Hands On Deck Campaign, with ambitions to end chronic homelessness in the area by 2030.
  • It was celebrated during the four-year anniversary of the Mobile Access Partnership on May 22, 2025, at First United Methodist Church (600 S.W. Topeka Blvd.).

Status as of October 19, 2025The center has been operational for about three months and is in its pilot phase. Early feedback highlights its role in connecting services more efficiently, though expansion (e.g., additional tiny homes or shelters) depends on city council funding approvals.If you're seeking services, volunteering opportunities, or more details, contact:

• Let's Help: Visit their campus or call (785) 232-0555.

Fan club

An electrical fan may take time to start due to physical issues like worn bearings, old or failing capacitors, and buildup of dust and debris that increase friction. It could also be a design feature of certain motors, like some brushless DC fans, to allow for a slower, more controlled startup. [1, 2, 3, 4]  

Common causes for a slow start 

• Worn or dried-out bearings: Over time, the lubricant in the motor's bearings can deteriorate, causing them to stick and requiring more torque to start moving. 

• Failing start capacitor: The capacitor provides the initial "boost" of torque to get the motor spinning. If it's failing, the fan may take longer to start or only hum without spinning. 

• Dust and debris: Hair, dirt, and other debris can get into the motor vents or bearings, creating friction and hindering the motor's ability to start quickly. 

• Low voltage or poor electrical connections: An inconsistent or weak electrical supply can reduce the power available to the motor, making it struggle to start. 

• Motor design: Some newer fans, particularly those with brushless DC motors, may have a "soft-start" feature that intentionally makes them take a moment to spin up for a more controlled and less jarring start. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]  

What to do 

• For older fans: Try cleaning the fan thoroughly, especially the motor housing, and then adding a few drops of the correct type of lubricating oil to the motor shaft at the bearing points. 

• For a suspected capacitor issue: If the fan hums but won't spin or starts very slowly, the capacitor is the most likely culprit. This is a repair that may require a professional, especially if you are not comfortable working with electrical components, notes JustAnswer (https://www.justanswer.com/electrical/2pmtt-causes-electric-fan-motor-turn-slow-when.html). 

• For newer fans: The slow start may be normal if it's a design feature. If the fan is stuttering or starting very erratically, it could still indicate a component failure that is best handled by a professional. [1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]

NOT a king

While an exact number is impossible to determine, at least 3,028 people worldwide have a higher net worth than Donald Trump, according to analyses from early 2025. This is because Donald Trump's net worth, estimated by financial outlets to be between $5 and $7.5 billion in 2025, is significantly lower than that of the world's wealthiest individuals. [1, 2, 3, 4]

Based on recent financial rankings

• Donald Trump's 2025 net worth:
  Financial publications generally estimate Donald Trump's net worth for 2025 to be in the range of $5 to $7.5 billion. One Forbes report in September 2025 put his wealth at $7.3 billion, and the Bloomberg Billionaires Index in October 2025 listed him with $7.56 billion
  
  .
• The global billionaire count: As of March 2025, Forbes found 3,028 billionaires worldwide. Donald Trump is ranked well below the richest people in the world, with his net worth comparable to lower-tier billionaires. The vast majority of these billionaires have a net worth that is higher than his.
• The richest individuals: The gap between Trump's wealth and the world's richest people is enormous. As of October 2025, the ten wealthiest individuals in the world each had a net worth of over $150 billion, according to Forbes. The single wealthiest person, Elon Musk, had a net worth estimated at $490.8 billion, more than 60 times Trump's reported wealth. [3, 4, 5, 6, 7]

---------- Forwarded message ---------
From: Historic Old Town NIA President <informhistoricoldtownnia@gmail.com>
Date: Fri, Oct 17, 2025, 6:10 AM
Subject: 6 Days Until the NIAs of District 1 Candidate Forum
To:

Candidates and NIA Colleagues:

We are just reaching out a final time before the candidate forum on Thursday, October 23rd.  

We have no significant changes to speak of — leading to this being our final communication.  We invite you to read the entirety of the e-mail to be prepared for next Thursday.

Final Details:

•A response to the question: "What makes the neighborhoods of District 1 valuable to you as a Mayor/Councilmember/School Board Member?" — will be asked as part of your introduction to the audience.  This is the only question you will receive in advance.

•We will have a THS student photographer grabbing photos.  He will be instructed to get an individual photo of each candidate.  The best one will be edited and published.  You are also welcome to take your own photos/bring your own photographer.

•I will be in the room starting at 5 PM to help with set up and hospitality items (water, gum/mints).  You are welcome to check in 10-15 minutes before 6 PM to get settled in.  We do understand that a late arrival might happen, as organizations are likely asking for more of your time.  We intend to stick to our 7:30 PM exit time — and absences are…noticed.

•Finally, to help you orient, City Council District 1 includes the following:

•Neighborhood Improvement Associations: Central Park, Downtown (under active), Historic Holliday Park, Historic Old Town, Monroe, Tennessee Town, and Ward-Meade (inactive)

•Public schools include: Meadows Elementary, Williams Science & Fine Arts Magnet School (Elementary), Robinson Middle School, and Topeka High School

•Independent schools include: Cair Paravel Latin School, International Academy, Mater Dei Catholic School, and St. John's Classical Lutheran School

Allusions to these items will come up during questioning.  We're providing these points of clarity to recognize districts for TPS BOE are defined with different metrics.

Please reach out if your attendance plans have changed or you have other questions.

Thank you again!

2023 Chair
