First they came for the homeless
Finally, something good to report.
One of our Poor Tour occupiers, a mentally disabled girl, has been reunited with her family. It has been more than a year and a half since she became a resident. She has been impossible for the city to help. One of our homeless residents, Robin, found her family and they just picked her up.
When this community was designed, it was done with the knowledge that homeless helping homeless would result. The homeless are compassionate and understanding. They are the experts. They know how to help, and do. Without being asked.
I stopped counting at 65 helped into housing. The numbers were for the city’s knowledge. Not that our success matters. We still aren’t sanctioned.
We help at almost no cost to the taxpayer. 1.8 million for the HUB (can’t house an 80 year old) who has housed 2, 2.4 million for the new pathways, which has somehow managed to house 5 with the hub’s help. (must be a coincidence that they just opened, and the hub has housed 5)
Thank you, occupiers and camp residents. You are all making a difference.
