Seven and a half years of advocacy went up in smoke July 28 — and we lit the match. The Nevada County Board of Supervisors voted 5-0 to deny the ordinance. We withdrew our support for the proposed Alt/RV Dwelling Ordinance because it made it virtually impossible to live legally in an RV or trailer on private property. Our intent has always been to make it possible. It still is.

Living in RVs and trailers, not to mention yurts and shipping containers, is not a radical idea. It’s an excellent, common-sense idea. Thousands of people in California are already doing it because it’s the only right-here, right-now emergency response to our housing crisis.

Housing is a human right. If our government won’t do the right thing, it’s up to us, we the people. Join us!

Our mission is to use news & social media and the creative arts to champion social justice for housing insecure, disabled, elderly, and low-income individuals in our community.

The No Place To Go Project Manifesto *

When free enterprise and government can’t, don’t or won’t provide enough housing for all the people in our communities, the people have the right to find their own alternative housing.

And if they are living responsibly, they must not be punished, penalized, or forced to relocate when there is no place to go.

Likewise, people who rent alternative housing to people must not be punished or penalized if they are providing or hosting dwellings that meet emergency, code-equivalent, health & safety standards.

Because there is not enough housing for everyone, and because not everyone is housing-ready, safe parking lots and camps must be established.

Everybody has a right to be somewhere safe without fear of being forced to move.

It is not a crime to be homeless. The crime is there are not enough homes.
