The residents of Valley View, besides being appreciative, appeared a bit shell shocked when they moved in in the spring of 2019. Sleeping outside will do that. Tables were set up in the common house and were covered with kitchenware, blankets, toilet paper and other household items. The residents rotated in. For me. The most impressive thing was a resident who carefully picked out a salt and pepper shaker. She walked them home and then put them deliberately in the middle of her new card slash dining table. Then she said, there, I'm home, I have a home and then she started to cry. The salt and pepper shakers for her were key symbols of I'm home now, I have a home now.
