New Ward 3 Homeless Families Shelter Site

If the site ends up being the 2d Police Station, is that the Eaton-Hardy-Wilson zone?

Yes

Pretty sure that's Hearst, isn't it?

That is correct.

It should have been Eaton from the beginning, as it is the only Ward 3 elementary that's not already horribly overcrowded. As a Ward 3 resident, I think the shelter makes sense in the new location.

Relatedly, how revealing that Bowser told Mendelson to "F_k off," because the Council's plan to use city-owned property doesn't allow her campaign contributors to make millions. Apparently the Council's new plan will save the City well over $100 million -- kudos to responsible politicians. Thank got her stinky plan is back on a responsible track.

Where would the police station go?

I thought it would stay where it is? That the shelter goes on the parking lot next to it?

Yes, it's a big parcel of land. Apparently the police station can stay put as well as the community garden.

I think MPD can just park their cars wherever, including inside the community garden. It's not like anyone is going to ticket them.

What makes you think these will be families who use Eaton? What about mentally ill (who I see wandering Tenlrytown) or drug addicts? Spice, meth, crack? Has anyone specified to you who will be served there?

It's specifically a shelter for families, which by definition means kids. They might not go to Eaton: they might not be elementary-school aged or they might choose to continue to go to wherever they went before (homeless students have certain rights, which include being allowed to stay in a previous school). Their parents might, indeed, be mentally ill, but I do not think they will be active drug users.

Can you cite where there is guarantee that it will only be families? Or no active drug users?

BTW. I'm fine with the location, but lets not be naive.

Or released criminals?.and sometimes, just fyi, a.homeless family can be super down on their luck. They can also have substance issues, criminal issues that challenge their stability. You assume they have young kids, what about 17 year olds? What issues might they have? I am just saying, ask for information so you know what to expect.
