Ask Yourself...

Is the majority of your income being spent on Rent, Mortgage Payments, or Property Taxes?

When you’re at home, is most of your time spent recovering from the exhaustion of your employment?

Do you often feel like you have missed out on experiences, opportunities, or social connections due to work obligations that are required to earn enough income?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you may be struggling with Housefulness!

What is “Housefulness?”

Housefulness is the status of being “housed up,” or as having one immobile location (commonly constructed with concrete, plaster, or dead wood) in which one can conduct all cooking, sleeping, and bodily functions in privacy.

It is also an elaborate trap designed by landlords to ensnare the working class into indentured service by manipulating social standards to instill a false precedence of shelter as a life necessity; and by utilizing an obfuscation strategy to trick victims into legal consent through excessive contracts and agreements.

In exchange for access to or ownership of these locations, victims relinquish their rights to any earned income, beyond what is needed to sustain life, to the Landlord, Loan-Provide, or Bank which claims entitlement to the property.

Reconnect with Humanity

Without the amenity of privacy that is created by four solid walls, people who live outside cannot avoid each other; Getting to know the people who exist around you is inevitable. Some would argue that this lack of privacy would increase altercations; however, it has been proven that an Increase in the amount of time one spends outdoors will result in “improved attention, lower stress, better mood, reduced risk of psychiatric disorders, and even upticks in empathy and cooperation”. (Weir, 2025)

Reconnect with Nature

It is difficult to ignore the effects of pollution, loss of bio-diversity, extreme weather, or other environmental issues when you must face them all day and night. However, if you decide to move into nature, you will feel good knowing that you have created a radical reduction to your personal carbon footprint! At that point, it would only take a few more minor lifestyle changes to become someone who doesn’t produce any negative impacts on the environment, only positive! Remember that Urban Construction is one of the top three causes of Deforestation!

Escape the House Trap

It would benefit your health, social life, and the community to try living outdoors over indoors. There are many ways to get started, some safer than others. One strategy to live outdoors full-time that is more secure is to purchase a camping club membership; some come with long-term access to a club owned network of campgrounds located throughout the country such as Thousand Trails; and others provide amazing discounts to campgrounds of various owners, such as the Good Sam Club. Another private camping style option is to utilize a service like HipCamp, where you can search and book stays on private land owned by private Hosts!

Unique Healthcare Challenges for Homeless Individuals with Disabilities A study by Oxford Academic published in "Social Work" highlights several key barriers to healthcare access for homeless individuals with disabilities. These barriers include: Absence of Accessible Services Inadequate care results from many healthcare facilities' lack of capacity to address the unique requirements of people with disabilities.

Hostile Architecture: A Harmful Solution

  As homelessness starts to rise in many states, many actions have started to take place, one of them being hostile architecture.   Hostile architecture is an architectural design intended to deter certain activities and restrict people from using that public space. Hostile architecture goes unnoticed by most people, as they don't affect them. Some examples of hostile architecture involve: Armrests on benches Curved or slanted benches Rocky pavements Bike racks and planter boxes in a line Window sills with spikes In Portland, Oregon, the hostile architecture are focused towards the homeless and preventing camping. Since 2013, the state agency has spent over $1 million on what is described as "rockscape landscaping" to keep homeless campers off property owned by the Oregon Department of Transportation. In downtown Portland, NW Broadway, dozens of lined up bike racks were installed in. The area isn't an active destination, so the need for that many bike racks i...

Camp Clearing on the West Coast

 On The west Coast homelessness is a serious problem. When considering the homeless crises, Los Angeles is one of the places that comes to mind. Homelessness sweeps beyond “Skid Row” in Los Angeles, in fact it has become widespread throughout California. As of July 25 th, 2024, Gov. Newsom has issued an order to remove all homeless camps in the state of California. Will this be beneficial, will it be improving the lives of homeless individuals, or will it be another pointless tax on Californians? Improving to the lives of homeless individuals; appears to be uncertain as far as we know. Gov. Newsom has decided to invest $24 billion to clean up homeless camps. Gov. Newsom said, “We must act with urgency to address dangerous encampments which subject unsheltered individuals living in them to extreme weather, fires, predatory and criminal activity, and widespread substance use, harming their health, safety and well-being, and which also threaten the safety and viability of nearby busin...
