Hope for Outdoor People, Incorporated's

Weekly Friday, Coalition Public-Policy & Think Tank Meeting  

The Current Civil Interventions Often Ends Up With Outdoor Citizens Going to Jail or Simply Being Told 'To Get Out'  (Without Any Place To Go)!

  

Final, nearly year-long-review of U.S. DOJ Source Document 2010:  Problem-Oriented Guides for Police Problem-Specific Series (No.56) Department of Justice Office of Community Oriented Policy Services.   
Author:  Sharon Chamard, Professor University of Alaska, Department of Criminal Justice.
  

Three Primary Topics Covered:

• The Problem of Homeless Encampments

• Understanding Your Local Problem

• Responses to the Problem of Homeless Encampments (to include responses and interventions, that have had only a limited effect)!    

At HOP, We encourage and teach outdoor-citizens, the ones that are capable, ready for change, will listen, follow rules, be respectful and will work towards their objectives; to take charge of their personal destinies.  How?  By employing an informed self-help paradigm and methodology, to be knowledgeable, and to along with 'bonafide' support, as opposed to adhering to many of the untested models that are currently in place, to recover! 

BTW, members of the public are invited to join in!

"Cleanliness and order are not matters of instinct; they are matters of education, and like most great things, you must cultivate a taste for them".  HOP, attempts to do just that with the willing!
