Hi everyone,
My name is Richard and I have been working with people who are experiencing homelessness for the last 2 plus years. I find this work interesting, challenging and rewarding. I have learnt so much about myself and about others from working with this group of dynamic people.
I am looking forward to being part of this online community

Hello.
My name is Ross and I consider myself ex-homeless. I am now a squatter at Mor Go'hjertas Vei 23, Oslo. Here we there are over fifty squatters living in the same building as twenty elderly and disabled residents.
We receive eviction notices on a regular basis and are in contact with the municipality about our situation. They are trying to sell the building for 6 million Euro to private speculators without first making sure everyone has a place to live.
This is squatting luxury. Central heating in every room and food from the Krishnas on weeknights. There are only a few of us active in the cause, but we seem to be enough to keep politicians and police at bay, quoting Human Rights doctrines and their own rhetoric.
Check out www.indymedia.no as there are some articles in English as well as Norsk.
