This resource explores how encampments serve as communities that help meet social and psychological needs, challenging the mainstream narrative that views them solely as safety risks. Encampments offer stability, mutual aid, and social bonds for residents, providing a sense of belonging and connection often lacking in other homeless experiences. The blog “Finding Community in Encampments” published on the Homelessness Hub provides insights into the role of encampments in fostering community and meeting the needs of homeless individuals. Key points include changing the narrative from “homeless people” to community members, showcasing the diversity of experiences, and emphasizing long-term solutions.
