Richmond California where they used a "Tent City" for a five-week period. It reduced violent crime by 90%.
Yet the criminalization of homelessness continues,as a national trend that began with the formation of HOmeland Security.

KRON Channel 4 news reported a story about Richmond California where they used a "Tent City" for a five-week period. It reduced violent crime by 90%. The story was titled, In Richmond & Oakland, Prayers & Community Fight Violence Posted November 5, 2006 at 8:10 p.m. http://www.kron4.com/Global/story.asp?s=5637200
This does show what an organized "tent City" that could be comprised of the homeless could do. If it a type of Neighborhood Watch Program could be modified into a "Harmony Patrol". The very basic's for this and it's "self-governing structure are shown with Seattle's "Tent City" a mobile homeless camp", Dignity Village (in Portland, Or hs1 ) and Justiceville "Dome City" in LA (hs2 ).
Besides being of service in a public emergency because "Tent Cities" are mobile. They could also split funding with Emergency Services and Homeland Security. One such example of this was the "Made With Love Cafe" that served the New Orleans area, after Katrina. From what "Cor" told me in a phone call, they did have a type of "Harmony Patrol", too. What many in the Rainbow Family call "Shanti Sena". A Harmony Patrol tbe patterned after Neighborhood Watch Program's (HP1, HP6, ,) and the Shanti Sena Council of the Rainbow Family (HP3, HP4 ). The Shanti Sena Council does have specific training. Just Google (http://www.google.com) "Shanti Sena Council training " and you can acquire a new concept in neighborhood security. There are reports showing that the decent homeless can get along rather well with a Neighborhood Watch Program (HP8). Though the "Deviant Homeless" do have a problem with it. There are a number of instances in which Neighborhood Watch Programs have been used to deal with Homeless problems (HP5, HP7). It can help deal with domestic violence(HP10), prevent rape ( HP11) and murder (HP12). Drug dealers hate the neighborhood Watch Program. It is "bad for business". In order to have sex parties with minors as the Michelle Johnson murder had revealed (hrm34) and child prostitution such as the Russian River Times newspaper reported (hrm33), you need drugs to control them with. Trust me on one thing. One of the biggest problems with creating any homeless services program are the NIBY people (Not In My Back Yard). It is truly a miracle when INBY's (In My Back Yard) step forward to actually present the facts. In that regard, please see, Letters of Reference from past neighbors, in support of "Homeless Permits' and such.

Tom, this is the Umoja Village blog. They are a shantytown, built by the residents in Liberty City, Miami. Seems to be partly symbolic- A protest against massive theft of public funds for low income housing- partly practical- a place for people to live. Seems like the sort of thing you're interested in.
Happy New Year, Jon
