Thanks for keeping us informed. The demands are reasonable and opening enough shelter beds would save money in costs to emergency services. Making housing in RI more affordable would help us with the population drain that almost cost us a seat in Congress in 2020.

Such eloquence! Billy and Danny share compassion for the newbies. The people form community/ family. The ultimate question is for each of us to answer “Where are we going to go? You know what I mean? It's like we receded into the woods to hide from the public face and then it's like a sore to look at us. This is our perspective.” (Billy)
