Shelter
A safe and clean place to sleep and a sense of home is possible, with a range of sheltering options.
Nourishment
Healthy food and clean water should be a fundamental for all people, in this farm-to-fork region.
Hygiene
Health and wellness requires cleanliness, treatment and sanitation services at a community level.
The Problem
Unstructured, unsanitary and unsafe homeless camps are a costly burden and a downward spiral for everyone involved. The current plan is simply not working.
The Solution
Let's reconsider our approach and look to other successful models for lifting the homeless community into a sustainable, comprehensive path for wellness and recovery, where the essentials for living exist in a manageable structure of safety and accountability, and a real sense of community and co-existence that respects individual choice.
