Community Guides

Community guides

• For the public: reducing stigma while acknowledging frustration.
• For people living outdoors: privacy, agency, and returning to a request.
• Living Outdoors with Respect: practical guidance on choosing a safer place, waste, hygiene, noise, pets, and finding services.
• Know Your Rights: law-enforcement encounters, encampment sweeps, citations, property, public services, discrimination, and documenting a complaint.
• Private Property Camping Permission: a plain-language form for voluntary, time-limited permission on private property.
• Respectful Neighbor tent placard: a voluntary, visible cleanliness, access, quiet, safety, and communication commitment.
• Respectful Neighbor sticker: a mass-printable QR sticker linking to the shared standard and community guides.
• Emergency resource directory: verify-before-travel food, hygiene, medical, crisis, day-center, and document resources.
• Emergency health card: private paper-only health information card.
• Mutual-aid mediation agreement: voluntary pod-level shared commitments and conflict resolution.
• Document recovery checklist: a private tracker for replacing vital documents.

These are educational resources, not legal advice, emergency guidance, or a guarantee that a service is available. Local rules and service hours change; verify directly.
