Description

Wikipedia's coverage of Homelessness and its related issues isn't in great shape. I propose that a project be made to cover these areas. There seems to be enough articles in Category:Homelessness and all its subcategories. cheers Guerillero | My Talk 02:09, 18 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

RE: Description

We need to be sure the topic is sufficiently broad...to incorporate a more general view of housing, especially housing for the majority of the world's population, who are in point of fact, dirt poor. And why not just make it generalizable to incorporate both (1) development, which would include access to food, water, adequate sanitation and (2) habitat, broadly conceived, to include environmental impacts associated with housing development?

I don't know much about the subject, so won't be the best help, but the Project sounds like a great idea. Giant Snowman 00:57, 24 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I think Interdisciplinary will serve us well to break out of the sterile old molds... Brothercanyouspareadime (talk) 06:37, 8 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
