Kagi AI Summary:
The South San Pedro Neighborhood Association in Albuquerque is focusing on housing solutions and services for those experiencing homelessness, which is less common for neighborhood associations. The association formed a housing solutions committee to address homelessness and advocate for more affordable housing options. While safe outdoor campsites had some initial support, the idea has lost traction in recent years. The association's chair Tawnya Mullen believes the neighborhood should get involved to help their vulnerable neighbors, and that positive change can come when neighbors work together. Other neighborhood associations like Fair West have been inspired by South San Pedro's efforts to find community-driven solutions.

The whole thing is worth a read. It's so nice to see some YIMBYs

For those interested in mutual aid. John Brown breakfast club meets under the lead bridge every Saturday at 9

Can you tell me more about what this club does? Are they feeding the unhoused?
