I too, met and spoke with Joseph a few times in Portland. The first time Gabby and I passed by him he said to us, "Would you guys like to buy a copy of Street Roots?" I said no, thank you, and he replied, "Do you even know what it's about?" I stopped, turned around, and said "Actually... no! and he informed us on how it really is being homeless. For the record, we bought a copy of Street Roots. It's very informative and I recommend anyone who travels to Portland- buy a copy! Fortunately, Joseph was able to get a job at a fastfood restaurant. Great article, Mike. Great article. This is very enlightening, Mike. I too, met and spoke with Joseph a few times in Portland.

Too little attention is paid to the homeless and needy in the United States, and too little funds and public attention are allocated to this problem. With the financial crisis squarely facing our country, each of us will have a harder time dealing with the economic impact. Imagine how difficult the homeless may have it, many times through no fault of their own, and many times with small innocent childern in tow, who lost a job because of things like medical problems. And their numbers surely will grow in the near term. We all need to try to do our part to help this needy but worthy segment of our population. Interesting article.

Long story short, I got into a lot of trouble in my late teens and my family pulled the "tough love" card. I sat in jail 3 months and the homeless center for 10 months. Thing is it worked very well. It was humiliating at times, enlightening at others. I met so many different kinds of people, every race, every background, every story imaginable and then some. Finding oneself homeless truly could happen to anyone, and for anyone to think of their fellow man/woman as a bum or undeserving of the same rights is very sad indeed. What strikes me however, is that the current model of land/property ownership in this world is most certainly where many of our problems stem from. Who can one man own a mountain and another not a pair of shoes? Is it because one deserves it more? That must be what we're silently agreeing. Honestly, i would be happy for the rest of my life with just 1-2 acres, that I chose, that was mine to steward, and that i didn't have to pay taxes on. I think this is truly an inalienable right, among many that were stripped from most of us by imperialists, landlords, and kings. I think in a way we are all homeless, we just have the illusion of actually having a home. As long as our current understanding of property dominates, no one really has anything, it's all for sale or subject to repossession or theft.

The video on Umoja Village brings so many issues to mind. Questions like what society's responsibility to people in need is. It shows how the process works with municipal statutes in light of current conditions. Isn't it good to hear arguments that point out the reality of emergency housing shortages versus gaps in laws against vagrancy? This shows progress. I can remember being approached by a person on the street while I was walking with two friends. The person first asked whether I needed help finding something. Then, after he gave me directions, he asked for fifty cents for a bus. When I gave him the change and thanked him, my friends objected, arguing that I was encouraging panhandling by giving him the money. Another time, a friend and I were exploring a city and the first thing he did was buy a bag of fruit. He explained that he'd rather give fruit to the street people. Perception. Action. Understanding. We can affect change by doing small things. Thanks! Thanks, Heather. The video on Umoja Village brings so many issues to mind. Questions like what society’s responsibility to people in need is.
