I am gonna be honest with you, based on my work in Olympia, the best thing you can do is try to get people to access other services, be their caseworker, get them out. The camps eventually get cleared, and it is good to get people hooked up and out.
Update on the situation at Laurelhurst: No sweep of the encampment there has yet taken place. The eviction order lasts until the 16th, and if we can occupy space there until then, maybe we can prevent itpic.twitter.com/Ohi0kfQgfb

By holding the space, it only becomes more traumatic, I have seen it play out here. Helping people get out of the rain is the most compassionate thing you can do, helping them stay in the rain, less so. Perhaps mutual aid can help get people sheltered.

Perhaps you can find ways and places for people to camp/stay that are safer, like people's back yards etc. I am serious. Even an unheated garage is dry. This is what needs to be done & I am consistently disappointed by people who do not take others in.

I know it is risky, and not every one can do it, but there has to be at least some places people can offer up? Or fundraise rent for collective houses, creative solutions like that? If you can raise 15K you can rent a place that could hold 5-6 people. This is what I am talking.
