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 without fear of being forced to move.

It is not a crime to be homeless.
