This past weekend, Rusty Tomlinson, a fellow activist, made me aware of Dallas' five year plan to end homelessness. I felt that was a good idea and one that Hobo's List will be taking forward to candidates in the unCampaign. We are asking all candidates to decriminalize homelessness, support a comprehensive plan to end homelessness, and support the creation of "free use" zones for activists to create jungle camps for homeless individuals who cannot or will not be served by the shelters.
Here is the list of communities with ten year plans to end homelessness. See if yours is on the list. Lobby candidates to support the plans if they are there; lobby them to create them if not. Homelessness is an issue that can no longer be ignored.
