A shelter in Berkeley is seeing results in helping the unhoused, by taking an unconventional approach
BERKELEY – In a small tent in Southwest Berkeley, Jamie Morry strums his guitar, one of the few things he has left from his former life.
"A lot of shelters that I've been in they kick you out at 5 o'clock in the morning and you have to take all your stuff with you," Morry said. So, she decided to think outside the tent: no curfews, few restrictions and giving her residents complete autonomy over their personal space. Her idea seems to be working. A third of her residents, she said, have been placed in permanent housing. Almost all of them have gotten medical benefits. "Finally, a common-sense approach towards working with people. This is just what the doctor ordered," he said."It's just what the doctor ordered."
