Here's an interview with Nick Hess of The Mad Housers, a legendary posse of shelter-builders and homeless/squatter advocates, started back in '87 by some Georgia Tech architecture grad students, who have been recently putting their guerilla resources into providing simple little houses for the homeless spill-off around the hurricane-ravaged gulf coast. "However," Hess admits, "it'll take a fundamental attitude change about homelessness (in general). Whether you believe that the homeless deserve their fate or not, we've got to come to the realization that having folks out on the street is bad for everyone. It doesn't matter if someone is "worthy": desperate people with little to hope for aren't good for society as a whole." Word.
