Want to learn more about what has worked elsewhere in helping to organize for this community. There are so many non-profits/NGO's devoted to assisting our unhoused neighbors but so many of them seem largely uneffective/toothless (for many reasons).

Looking to see if there are any good reads out there about lifting up this community. thanks!

    The only one I can think of off the top of my head is called Grace Can Lead Us Home by Kevin Nye. It's grounded in Left Christian theology though. It basically focuses on housing-first initiatives and how they actually work. I'd like to find more secular texts to add to my list so I'm gonna come back to this later and see if others have suggested anything.

    Tangential but I saw this posted in the anarchy comm yesterday: https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/anarchist-teapot-mobile-kitchen-the-anarchist-teapot-mobile-kitchen-s-guide-to-feeding-the-mass#toc32

    Could be relevant too.
