Thank you for this important update, NG! Nor need affordable housing be conceived of as a warehouse for socially marginalized people. Personal living is about choice – warehousing via the ever-expanding group home model is utterly inadequate, and shameful given the resources available in our society.

Any ideas about how to help procure donations in support of H of C?
