PHRF is encouraging the 12,0000 homeless in the city to camp out in Duncan Plaza to bring attention to the housing crisis. Because the numbers have grown, daily feeding and organizing sessions with the homeless have also started. Guest activist Cindy Sheehan showed her support by visiting Duncan Plaza and was greeted warmly by the homeless. Several of the homeless, the overwhelming majority from New Orleans, have stepped up and begun outreach to the thousands of homeless hiding in the shadows of the city. The demand for a solution for the problem of affordable housing and homelessness in the city is expected to move toward a clash with the mayor and city council of New Orleans.
