This interesting and intriguing narrative reveals how these committed individuals, along with non-profit organizations and supportive churches, constructed a legal, practical, and economical homeless shelter without costing taxpayers a single dime. Despite their noble intentions, they faced numerous obstacles and stirred controversy in their quest to provide a safe haven for the homeless. The community was poised to invest millions in a modern dog shelter but seemed reluctant to extend the same support to their homeless neighbors.

The book raises a crucial question: "How do you build a homeless shelter that works and is acceptable to the entire community using only donations?" Through this thrilling account, readers discover the journey of one Sierra community as it struggled with this question and ultimately succeeded, only to face opposition from the city's power structure. When the shelter proved to be a success, accommodating and uplifting the homeless, it was abruptly shut down, leaving forty men and women without shelter in the harsh winter.

Despite this setback, the spirit of Hangtown Haven lives on. The community now possesses the knowledge and determination to try again, ready to confront and overcome the resistance from business, political, and power interests. "The Journey to Hangtown Haven" provides a roadmap for how it was done, the lessons learned, and the pitfalls to avoid in future efforts.
