Berkeley Councilmember Ben Bartlett Praises Wood Street Encampment Housing Two social welfare organizations Essential Food and Medicine (EFAM) and Artist Building Communities (ABC) get together with cob builder, Miguel Elliott and a team of volunteers to build a a community kitchen and health clinic to serve 150 unhoused in the Wood Street Encampment community. Ben Bartlett, City Councilmember, and un-housed housing advocate says of the Wood Street Project, "This is the truest example of community. It's people having each other's back." In a recent interview Xochitl Moreno, Co-founder of EFAM explains, "We are teaming up with ABC to build a community kitchen and health clinic. These are the start to many more tiny homes to come. We cofounded EFAM as a response to the fallout of the COVID 19 crisis left in the community. Many forms of aid that the unhoused community relied on vanished at the beginning of shelter in place." ABC is a brand new collective of all volunteer artists, activists, change makers, and formerly unhoused folks who primary goal is to house as many of our neighbors as we possibly can. One of the co-founders, Annmarie Bustamante recently explained to The Berkeley Post, "We have built 6 tiny homes so far and we have set a goal to build one a month for the next 13 months.
