Our Purpose

Our purpose is to resist the stigma and dehumanization and address the root causes of homelessness and addiction by demonstrating unhoused drug users unique capacity to organize themselves, provide successful peer support, and create alliances within all classes. Currently our efforts are aimed at creating a space for unhoused individuals to exists free from persecution, as their is an extreme lack of options for unhoused individuals in our community. We welcome people of all backgrounds, cultures, and beliefs to join in our cause. Housed and unhoused people alike, fighting together for a common goal of inculsion and equity.
