One way an award winning program of tiny homes could go forward in Chico is for a church to contact us for a discussion. This program is self-funding, and offers insurance, security and a satisfaction guarantee. It is four carefully vetted older women participants (they are participants in a program not residents) each in a tiny home behind a fence with a surveillance camera to our phone apps and many case managers. This program has been successful for over ten years in other places. If you know of a church with a big parking lot have them contact Charles 530.518.1417. Let's address our shelter crisis in a wider variety of ways before more die outside.

"He often said, ‘Everything else can wait, but the search for God cannot wait,' and 'Love one another’". George Harrison. We have vacant cabins. North State Shelter Team has a plan. We have a shelter crisis. Encourage our city leaders to act before more (like Gina) die on the sidewalk. Mayor Kasey Reynolds kasey.reynolds@chicoca.gov or P.O. Box 3420, Chico 95927

We talked to Gina two weeks ago. She was a victim and traumatized. Now she has died on a bike path of Chico. We got her to try Genesis. It didn't work for her. We can do better with small non-congregate shelter programs like the North State Shelter Team's Safe Spot Community Proposal based on the successful program by Community Supported Shelters in Eugene OR. Many other California towns are doing similar programs. Let's save some lives and write the Chico City Council: P. O. Box 3420 Chico 95927 to adopt State Statute 8698 and get going with an effective shelter program this year!

The City Council directed Staff to work with NSST to get our proposal to put tiny homes in church parking lots underway. We met with Staff and they gave us a lot of work to do. We will need help to get it done. Contact Charles of NSST to lend a hand: nsstchico@gmail.com
