The Gorilla Love Project stems from a deep sense of frustration and a fierce belief that we can do better. It is about heeding to a more powerful, intuitive and swift call to community action.
It is not about business or politics as usual, but committing to a wild, selfless act, itself. It is about collectively undertaking a goal that is so singularly clear there is no time for corruption, no need for overhead, and is so spontaneous there is no way to predict its outcome.

We are designing a program that makes it easy for volunteers to continue your Gorilla Action at your own respective pace.
If you would like to continue volunteering, improving the prototype or hands-on building, or delivering of microhouses, you can click the "Signup To Volunteer" link to see what actions are upcoming. If there nothing listed you can use the contact page to inquire about getting involved.

Now that I am getting to know each one of these homeless, many by name, it is becoming more personal. This is no longer a faceless issue.
Jacob: We have just housed a boyfriend, Jacob, his girlfriend and their male friend who have all been staying at the Hospitality house until now. They did not know of the Food Bank services or any county program for that matter. They didn’t even own a tarp and were having difficulty mustering up the means to purchase one.

Anyone who is aware of these microhouses and knows a homeless person who has no cell phone, please ask them if they are interested in receiving a microhouse and please assist them in calling us if need be. Personal contact goes a long way with this…. Many have a very difficult time reaching out for assistance. The HOMELESS HOTLINE for microhouses is (530) 845-5783
