Everyone Deserves a Roof
About EDAR
EDAR (Everyone Deserves A Roof) is a 501(c)(3) charity that provides unique mobile shelters to those living on the streets all around us. Each EDAR is a four-wheeled mobile unit which carries belongings and facilitates recycling during the day and which unfolds into a special, framed tent-like sleeping enclosure with a bed at night.

Mission
While respecting permanent and temporary housing for the homeless in group settings which use buildings to provide shelter, EDAR addresses the unrepresented hundreds of thousands of homeless people amongst us for whom no beds are available or who are unable or unwilling to participate in those solutions.

And on that note, I'll simply add that the protest and march today appears to be going very well at this point. They marched by the house earlier and it looked noisy and peaceful. Cops are diverting cars from my street to let them march unimpeded. So far, so good.
