Our Purpose
The purpose of this organization is:
to begin and support a self-governing itinerant shelter system for the homeless of Michigan that is a safe place free from drugs, alcohol, and violence;
to inform, solicit, and accurately execute all decisions made by the democratic governing body of each partnering tent community;
to connect the homeless population with available resources that promote recovery, community, service, and healing;
to aid members of the camp to transition toward healthier, more stable lifestyles and positive contributions to society and local communities;
to increase public interest in and awareness of homelessness in Michigan;
to support and conduct non-partisan research, educational, and informational activities to establish the efficacy of tent communities; and
to discover the best practice for the governance and operation of tent communities and to disseminate those results to existing and new tent communities.
