Good editorial.  The list of nonprofits providing shelter should include SquareOne Villages, which runs Opportunity Village and will be building Emerald Village, and Community Supported Shelters and Nightingale Health Sanctuary, which run the "rest stop" camps. 

Of which we need a lot more. The City Council has talked about "relaxing" the currently restrictive rules about siting rest stops, and trying to put at least one in every ward, but hasn't actually done anything about that yet. A large question is whether they're willing to go against neighborhood opposition to do that.  They also need to provide some money to CSS and NHS, which now depend entirely on donations. The CSS website is at http://communitysupportedshelters.org/.
