CAMP TAKE NOTICE
Our Mission
Camp Take Notice is a grassroots tent community of homeless people currently residing in Ann Arbor, Michigan. It is one of Ann Arbor’s first grassroots tent community, and it works in partnership with M.I.S.S.I.O.N A2.
The self-governing tent community offers an alternative approach to the traditional government and private systems that provide shelter and basic resources for the homeless. CTN’s emphasis on community among camp members and faith-based organizations is what sets it apart from other services. The idea is that this type of homegrown effort is necessary for sustainably meeting the needs of Ann Arbor’s homeless.

Our Mission
We recognize that people experiencing homeless are empowered through self-governance, social engagement and care for one another in community. We therefore work in partnership between the homeless and the housed to mitigate the suffering of homelessness by means of democratically self-governed alternative shelter communities (for example: tent cities, tiny house communities, warming shelters, houses of hospitality, etc.), distribution of humanitarian aid, advocacy, community building and otherwise responding to the unmet needs of the homeless.
