Homeless People + Peopleless Homes = People at Home

Bill pointed this out on Common Dreams and I thought I'd cross-post it. This project, undertaken by a single activist in Florida, achieves the visionary with simplicity and immediacy. Basically, it's just a project of setting up squats in foreclosed homes for homeless families. The activist, Max Rameau, says "Homeless people across the country are squatting in empty homes. The question is: Is this going to be done out of desperation or with direction?" Read about it here.

This is not a single activist, the organization is called Take Back the Land. They are on the web at www.takebacktheland.org and takebacktheland.blogspot.com.
