I've lived a sum total of about six years on the street. I've done so in multiple states and municipalities And one thing that remains the same everywhere is the abysmal shelter system They are not even a band-aid, they are an excuse to manufacture consent to abuse the unhoused

I'm not keen on posting regurgitated birbsite here, but this is key knowledge for Seattle and all US cities. Thank you to Stop the Sweeps for running this down. Alt text doesn't fit, so this is becoming a thread.

Twatter post stating"One of the most common arguments we hear to justify sweeps is the claim that people refuse services and choose to live outside, so we simply have to sweep them into shelters. This is incredibly misguided and demonstrates a lack of information, so let’s dig into it 👇 1/10

First of all, let’s be clear about the capacity of our shelter system. There aren’t enough beds to accommodate even a fraction of the houseless population. On any given night, there might be a dozen shelter beds available for hundreds of unhoused folks living in Seattle. 2/10

But even if there were enough shelter beds, living in congregate shelter is simply not an option for a lot of people. If you’ve never lived in a shelter or know anyone who has, you might not understand just how much trauma people can go through in congregate shelters. 3/10

Many people are sexually assaulted, physically assaulted, neglected, or verbally harassed by other residents as well as shelter staff. 4/10
Well shit...

Okay the documentation system we’ve gradually been deploying in the FFF is actually working reaaaally well. We’re tiptoeing it out to not be disruptive but it works! Various efforts get predictable ID numbers. First went to corp docs, and now in PA-019 mechtail. My old employer would be jealous >:3

Walking along the shore at night you come across a huge crowd of people dancing around a bonfire. They leap and frolic in frantic ecstasy. As you watch, one dancer hands a giant bushel-basket full of hundred dollar bills to a man at the center, who throws the cash on the fire. Everyone cheers.
