I sometimes get accused of being a country-wide magnet for homeless people. That the tents and acceptance we offer at the Houseless Movement is SO good, that people will come from all over the country to live with us. (It has happened once or twice, but it's EXTREMELY rare.)

I'm going on a birth certificate run for some of the people living with us right now. Here are their month, year and city where they were born:
Woman: Born February 1972 in Akron Ohio
Woman: Born September 1989 in Akron Ohio
Man: Born August 2000 in Akron Ohio
Woman: Born January 1984 in Akron Ohio
Man: Born March 1970 in Barberton Ohio
Woman: Born March 1984 in Barberton Ohio
Man: Born November 1957 in Canton Ohio
Man: Born April 1981 in Ravenna Ohio

These are OUR people, OUR children, OUR fathers, OUR brothers and sisters. If we can't take care of them then, really, what CAN we do?
