Angels of the Homeless

This page is ded­i­cat­ed to all indi­vid­u­als and orga­ni­za­tions that work to assist the home­less. I affec­tion­ate­ly refer to them as “Angels of the Home­less”. The goal is to pro­vide them recog­ni­tion and to pro­vide their con­tact info in the event you would like more infor­ma­tion or would like to con­tribute to their work. Cur­rent­ly, I have only list­ed indi­vid­u­als or orga­ni­za­tions that I have per­son­al expe­ri­ence with. 

If you would like to nom­i­nate a per­son or orga­ni­za­tion please fill out the form below. Please include your name, email address, why you believe they are an “Angels of the Home­less”, and their con­tact info and URL if appro­pri­ate. Once reviewed their name and con­tact infor­ma­tion will be added to the list of “Angels of the Home­less” with you as their Sponsor.

Tiny Hous­es For Human­i­ty :  is a project that came togeth­er by incor­po­rat­ing a Hous­ing First approach to those need­ing assis­tance due to Sono­ma County’s hous­ing short­age and lack of afford­able hous­ing.  Jay Shafer’s archi­tec­tur­al genius as pio­neer of the Tiny House Move­ment com­bined with Riv­er King’s vision for cre­at­ing Tiny House Vil­lages for those suf­fer­ing home­less­ness has birthed an activist group.  We are devot­ed to cre­at­ing intel­li­gent and func­tion­al liv­ing spaces that will allow res­i­dents the com­fort and safe­ty we all deserve.  For more infor­ma­tion or to make a dona­tion click on the link above or email at tinyhousesforhumanity@gmail.com.

Kathy Bish­op: Kathy, my sis­ter-in-law from Illi­nois, has been scour­ing eBay and garage sales for rain gear ever since she heard about my home­less project.  She has used her own mon­ey to pur­chase over 3 dozen jack­ets for my home­less friends.  Thanks Sis.
