Internal Identity Note:
How Shelter Outline Uses Its Two Voices

An image of two microphones

1. “The Network” Official, Institutional, Public‑Facing

Use The Network for anything that represents the structured, scalable, city‑ready side of your work.
This includes:

  • catalog pages
  • policy models
  • donor briefings
  • press releases
  • city‑facing documents
  • formal statements
  • operational frameworks
    Tone: professional, structured, system‑level.
    Purpose: show the model, the infrastructure, the solution.

2. “S.O.N.”, Stories, Street Sentinel, Ground‑Level Voice

Use S.O.N. (Shelter Outline Network) for narrative work rooted in lived experience.
This includes:

  • Street Sentinel posts
  • commentary
  • personal stories
  • movement messaging
  • on‑the‑ground observations
  • reflective pieces
    Tone: human, grounded, real.
    Purpose: tell the truth from the street, build connection, show what the system feels like.
