There is something new on the streets...
|
Get Loud is written mostly by folks who... find themselves without a place to call home or who were homeless. We at Get Loud hope to provide information of value to our friends experiencing homelessness, and also to those who want to understand homelessness better. We hope that through this, misconceptions can be dispelled and we can all learn to enjoy and share the city together. |
Getting Loud
|
Addressing topics as:
|
What are they doing at the “Triangle” and Sony Lawson Park? What are Denver street residents doing now that sleeping outside is “illegal”? Do we need Public Hygiene Centers and what are they? Why is affordable housing disappearing? What is Ft. Lyons all about? Real causes of homelessness and how does one manage if they become homeless? |
And of course personal stories of day to day life on the street.
Ever apply for a job while caring everything you own with you?
Some realism about barriers encountered from first hand experiences...
