Amirah had an idea that didn't fit anywhere in a policy manual. If funding was frozen on placements, it didn't mean people had to be invisibly set adrift tonight. People needed short-term bridges—beds, meals, human presence—until the system thawed or until they could reach safer ground. She spent the hour drafting a list on the back of an intake form: volunteers with cars, nearby congregations with spare cots, a small catering co-op willing to donate a few boxes of food. By two a.m. she had a map of places and faces who would open doors for one night, two nights—long enough for hope to gather.
