What is Sunbreak Ranch?

What Is Sunbreak Ranch?

Sunbreak Ranch is a new approach to the nationwide homeless crisis that offers real hope, not more of the futile same. 

Sunbreak Ranch is a central navigation center, designed to house people, identify their needs, and move them with care and proper treatment to more permanent housing or treatment centers. It is an emergency regional “triage center” where everyone in need will have a clean, healthy, safe, and secure place and bed.

Sunbreak is a voluntary facility. 

Individuals can reside in a series of designated and protected areas for families, single mothers, seniors, veterans, those with dogs, and so on.

There will be clean toilets, showers, dining halls, medical tents, storage facilities, onsite homeless service providers, mental health counselors, substance abuse specialists and vocational trainers.  

Sunbreak will have private security and a permanent 24/7 police station onsite to maintain a safe and secure environment for residents. Away from the criminals, drug dealers, gang members and sex traffickers who relentlessly prey on the homeless on the streets,  homeless individuals will finally have a secure and safe place to get back on their feet.

According to Martin v. City of Boise (2018), the U.S. Constitution does not allow for prosecuting people for sleeping outdoors if there is no shelter available. With Sunbreak Ranch operational, and shelter available for every person in need, the court’s conditions will be met, thus enabling the return to rule of law regarding public loitering, camping, littering, defecating, urinating, drug use and criminal activity. 

A civilized society must have rule of law, period.

Once proven, Sunbreak can be rapidly replicated across America. The opportunity to save hundreds of thousands of lives, end widespread suffering, and clean up America’s cities, is within our reach.
