Housing for the people, by the people
We advocate for practical, attainable housing choices that give people a safe place to call home.
Living in RVs and trailers, not to mention yurts, platform tents and shipping containers, is not a radical idea. It’s an excellent, common-sense solution. Even though it’s illegal, hundreds of people in Nevada County do it because it’s their only affordable housing choice. RVs and other alternative housing are the 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.
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.
