At the present under the umbrella of the "Center" is "Homeless Documentaries" a group we have formed to document the realities of homelessness and poverty in video format. The videos that you see on the "Home" page are our work.
We believe that the mainstream media don't want you to see the reality of these conditions because they do not equate to polical power of put money in any one's pocket.
Here is a picture of us (me behind the video camera) preparing to do a shoot and a local feeding site.
We also have "Tucson Feed the Homeless Project" in which we go inta a park in Tucson and feed the homeless hand out toletries, blankets socks and such.
Here is a picture showing us preparing to to do a feed.
We also have the "Center for Creative Chaos Art Gallery" in which when we get more established we will require that all submissions be social change related.
So this is what we are doing in Tucson but it is only a start.

Hi Teresa,
Thank you for joining our group. Ron covered most of what we are currently working on to help people that are homeless or at risk of being homeless in Tucson. We also are working on networking with other groups, and people such as yourself who as well are very interested in helping the homeless. For example this past Sunday Ron and I attended a Sunday brunch for the homeless at a very nice place called the Z Mansion here in Tucson. We discovered that the man that owns the place (where formal events such as weddings are hosted), along with all volunteers, is the person who puts together this Sunday brunch for the homeless. He also is setting the model for what so many other churches and organizations can do. It does not necessarily take a lot of money (they do not accept any monetary donations); it only takes caring and a desire to help and actually getting out there to help in any way one person at a time. For more information on homelessness and to receive bulletins on what we are working on, please become a friend of myspace.com/homelessadvocate. You may also get more information on the people we met at the Sunday brunch at workship.org. Thank you for your time and interest!
