Housing, employment, community, and life in Butte County
Navigating America from the Bottom Up
This is my personal blog about navigating housing, employment, public assistance, community services, and everyday life in Butte County, California.
After spending many years navigating homelessness, housing, employment, and the systems that are supposed to help people move forward, I’ve accumulated a lot of experiences, observations, questions, and stories.
This isn’t intended to be a formal organization or an official source of information. It is simply my perspective, based on what I have experienced and what I continue to learn along the way.
