Neighbors also requested that at risk overnight facilities be located away from schools, parks, neighborhoods with defined proximity limits like hundreds of other places so that violent and sex offenders will not be near such sensitive uses and ALSO so that when we fund a facility with taxpayer money that it can house homeless offenders. Neighbors haven’t said anything about ABC stores as far as I know, but we have asked that only dry shelters with clean and sober men near schools and parks. IFC’s proposed facility allows intoxicated and high men in the overnight portion.

Abettersite.org has documented issues with the shelter guidelines and the process used to create them on our website at http://www.abettersite.org

The neighbors who formed http://www.abettersite.org believe that a public process should have been used to site this facility which is poised to receive $2.3M of taxpayer support to date and could be 100% fully funded by taxpayers in 4-5 years at the current rate of requested funds ($500K requested last month).
