About Me
My work is based on the following beliefs:
The System is NOT broken. It functions exactly how it was created.
Housing is a Right
Ending Homelessness as we know it is possible
The person experiencing homelessness is NOT the problem, they are the collateral damage of the problem.
People cannot cease to exist. Everyone needs a place to be.
Harm Reduction and Housing First must be high fidelity in order to not do harm
Everyone is housable
No one wants to be homeless
"Don't try to drive the homeless into places we find suitable. Help them survive in places they find suitable." ~ Daniel Quinn
