    News from Thailand’s busy Homeless People’s Networks There is a lot going on these days in Thailand’s Homeless People’s Networks, which are active in the country’s three largest cities: Bangkok, Chiang Mai and Khon Kaen. The country’s first completely self-managed homeless shelter in Bangkok’s Taling Chan District is celebrating it’s tenth year of operation. A fresh infusion of support from the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security has given new life to long-discussed plans to build similar self-managed homeless shelters in Chiang Mai and Khon Kaen. Land for the new shelters has been acquired in both cities and the new shelter in Chiang Mai has been constructed and inaugurated. Meanwhile, the first batch of twelve pioneering families from the Bangkok Homeless shelter has taken the big step of moving into the country’s first-ever permanent housing project that is being designed, built and financed by (formerly) homeless people themselves, on land leased inexpensively from the State Railways Authority in the nearby Thawi Watthana District. Here is a brief update and some background notes on all these projects, drawn from both recent and past visits by teams from CODI and the Asian Coalition for Housing Rights (ACHR). THIS REPORT DATED JULY 2018 1.
