Instagram post 2191823483108103338_4749883252 Criminalization hitting the fan at National Level The president threats are becoming a reality, the new head of the USICH Robert Marbut (News Article Link: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/robert-marbut_n_6738948 How A Traveling Consultant Helps America Hide The Homeless) “We don’t use the term shelter,” Marbut says. “We use the term transformational campus.” “Velvet Hammer, approach” Marbut offers the same basic advice to most cities: Cut the goodies and build a shelter like jails facilities. It’s a simplistic solution that avoids the larger complexities surrounding homelessness.
