Everyone deserves a healthy life, and that means having a home; even if they made some bad choices along the way.
Functional Zero
We must move our frame of thinking and acting from managing homelessness to “ending” it.

Natural disasters are often what lead to a crisis response. This is the most unnatural of disasters. Is that why it isn’t urgent?
Sheer Determination
What are you doing and how are you going to get through the day? Well today, the answer to “how” was “sheer determination.”
Silence is Critical
The silence. In meditation it’s the gap, where there is no thought. How we spend our time being in our human experience. That’s powerful.
Capable of Learning
Every legislator should spend time doing outreach to people on the streets to really connect with and understand unsheltered homelessness.
Still More Questions than Answers
