AP photo of Camp Ontario last year. Things have changed since then. The learning curve increase. There IS a legal solution, it turns out!

Universal emergency or disaster shelter may soon be a shared work around the planet built by design scientist and anyone else who wants to help. Legal living situations. Ultra-low-cost. Always legal. Civil rights intact. No more chasing and running. This is not camping. Camping is recreation, not home. We can begin to build a scalable village model site in Sacramento and applaud Sacramento's push for Safe Ground. Everyone needs to have a place to sleep day after day. Sleep is a right.

World Shelters is in the lead here now. I will post updates as Camp Sacramento emerges. I suspect other cities around the continent will improve on these effort as a solution for unsheltered people as experience grows.
