One of the scariest moments of my life was when I fled #boise #idaho to #portland #oregon with nothing.

I was #homeless and desperate, and there was nothing left for me there but bad memories, and very few resources for someone poor.

I had exhausted all my options, and I was just trying not to die.

Still recovering from #opioids I got on a Greyhound to a shelter I had lined up in advance, and stepped from a desert into rain.

All that effort and fear just to have a bed.

Montreal's new private patrols spark backlash from homelessness groups
Several organizations that work directly with homeless people question the lack of consultation about the patrols and would have preferred the money be distributed to groups that already do outreach and interventions.

Looks like #Trump is sending 2,000 more #troops to #LosAngeles, which means a not insignificant portion of the #homeless population in the city are going to be #US troops.
