2020 Annual Report
20 2ANNUAL0 REPORT 1 LETTER FROM EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AND BOARD CHAIR DEAR FRIENDS: 2020 was a challenging year for everyone – and especially challenging for organizations like ours. The dual pandemics of COVID-19 and systemic racism disproportionally impacted Solid Ground families. Families with limited income, criminal histories, poor credit and other barriers have always been extremely challenged to find affordable housing, and the pandemic only exacerbated these issues, as parents lost their jobs or put themselves at greater risk of illness while working low-skill, high-contact jobs. Connecting with families was also challenging. We missed being able to visit with them face-to-face, as parents were busy with children who were distance learning at home, concerned with extended family members who had fallen ill, or too preoccupied by the enormous stresses of daily life in the pandemic to connect virtually. Despite these overwhelming challenges, Solid Ground continued to move families out of homelessness and into housing and to help them maintain their homes. Our success is rooted in our Housing First approach – get people into housing first, and then provide the help they need to increase their income, address their health, and achieve academic success. We took our services and our classes virtual; distributed food, diapers and cleaning supplies to meet families’ basic needs, and offered support and healing, particularly to our participants of color, as our community and the nation grappled with the impact of systemic racism. As we write this letter in July 2021, we are pleased to continue with and augment our services, reinstituting in-home visits, reestablishing community meals, and reengaging our participants and volunteers through face-to-face service.

'2009 MTV Movie Awards' Honors Ben Stiller with 'MTV Generation Award'
'2009 MTV Movie Awards' Honors Ben Stiller With 'MTV Generation Award' Premiering LIVE Sunday, May 31, 2009 at 9pm ET/8pm CT From The Gibson Amphitheatre in Universal City, CA SANTA MONICA, Calif., May 22 -- The 2009 MTV Movie Awards pays tribute to Ben Stiller with the coveted "MTV Generation Award" for his amazing contribution to Hollywood and for entertaining the MTV audience for years. From generation to generation, Ben Stiller has kept fans rolling with laughter since bursting onto the scene in Reality Bites and his early film roles and cult classics such as There's Something About Mary, Meet the Parents, Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story, Tropic Thunder and now this summer's eagerly anticipated Night at the Museum: Battle at the Smithsonian in theaters May 22, 2009. The "MTV Generation Award" is the MTV Movie Awards' highest honor, acknowledging an actor who has captured the attention of the MTV audience throughout his or her career. Past recipients include Adam Sandler, Mike Myers, Tom Cruise and Jim Carrey. Hosted by Andy Samberg, the 2009 MTV Movie Awards will be broadcast LIVE from the Gibson Amphitheatre in Universal City, CA on Sunday, May 31st at 9p.m. ET/8p.m. CT. "From The Royal Tenenbaums to Zoolander, Ben is a comedic chameleon, able to make the leap between drama and full-out comedy while maintaining his own unique brand of subversive humor," said Van Toffler, President of MTV Networks Music/Logo/Film Group. "That versatility and talent has earned him legions of devoted fans over the years which makes him a perfect recipient for the 'MTV Generation Award.' Whether it's fighting a monkey in a museum or licking a decapitated head, nothing is ever off-limits for him and that's the type of warped creative vision and commitment MTV loves to reward." "I am honored to be getting the 'Generation Award,'" said Ben Stiller.

275. – Part One
275. – PART ONE 275. Clifford (1994) Okay, here’s the deal: I don’t know you, you don’t know me, but if you are anywhere near a television right now I need you to stop whatever it is that you’re doing and go watch “Clifford” on HBO Max. This is another film that has a 10% score on Rotten Tomatoes which just leads me to believe that all of the critics who were popular in the nineties didn’t have a single shred of humor in any of their non-existent funny bones. I loved this movie when I was seven, and I love it even more when I’m thirty-three. It’s genius. Martin Short (who at the time was forty-four) plays a ten-year-old hyperactive nightmare child from hell. I mean it, this kid might actually be the devil. He is straight up evil, conniving, manipulative and all-told probably causes no less than ten million dollars-worth of property damage. And, again, the plot is so simple – he just wants to go to Dinosaur World. There are so many comedy films with such complicated plots and motivations for their characters, but the simplistic genius of “Clifford” is just this – all this kid wants on the entire planet is to go to Dinosaur World. That’s it. The movie starts with him and his parents on an plane to Hawaii for a business trip, and Clifford knows that Dinosaur Land is in Los Angeles, therefore he causes so much of a ruckus that the plane has to make an emergency landing.
