Holly Porter, the quadriplegic homeless woman who inspired and co-founded the first sanctioned, self-governed encampment in Sacramento County, moved into a Meadowview apartment last week following months of vociferous lobbying for local authorities to secure a permanent home for her.
For 10 months, Porter and her neighbors at Camp Resolution had repeatedly called on Sacramento leaders to house her; Porter and her family had actively sought housing for a year and a half.
“I’m very excited,” Porter said, sitting in her wheelchair in the sunny ground-floor unit, “but I just don’t think it’s actually sunk in yet.”
