Congregations around Eugene and Springfield, Oregon, are finding that hosting homeless residents on church property is a win-win for their communities.
I love seeing the safe villages popping up. I live in a neighborhood with a large homeless population. People camping keep getting moved on or have their things stolen etc. Theres little safety just living out in a tent. The little houses and domed cabins are in fenced villages and offers a much safer existence ♡♡. Since Covid I've seen a half dozen of these little villages pop up in safe zones ♡♡♡
People aren't usually born Homeless they become homeless because of adversity...sometimes their lives get stolen by others and they must start OVER...These children of God need a hand UP it's not a hand out...WE ALL MATTER
When space is limited as is here my space was a commercial truck with sleeper , you do better to keep your things in zip bags . You can hang them from the frame , I had a bag for socks and underwear, another one that I had can goods in , one for my electronics and one I kept my electric tools and parts in. All the bags were different colors making it easier to remember what was where. Things moving around in the truck I just put a belt through the handles kept things from flying around. Clothes I had 14 of the same thing. All black (grease don't show up on black) I would make rolls.of clothes, shorts , shirt underwear and a pair of socks. I would roll them up kept them rolled with a rubber band. Showered every day if I had to I could shower every other day giving me a month before I needed to wash again. Shower with one molded piece flip flops. No glued shoes they never last. Put dirty clothes in a Walmart bag tied them up so the odor was contained.
This is a great project, wich we should adopt in Scandinavia ! 🤗 After all STUGA is a Swedish word. Meaning summerhouse. Most scandinavians prefer to live in a modestly sized home. To have a STUGA. The simpler, the better....😍 (To remind us of our humble ancestry). 🏘 Stay safe and well ! Love from Norway 💖
Conestoga huts are awesome. And cheap to build. If you have some cattle panels and some lumber and plywood lying around it is a good way to put it to use. It makes a good storage unit or for camping.
