Notes

• The major point here is Oregon has been trying since at least 2008 to develop plans to end homelessness. They don’t work and are short lived. But we do know how to respond to humanitarian crisis (for example communities devastated by forest fires). In other words, perhaps we’re approaching this from the wrong perspective.
