Council member Bill Murray was confronted about homelessness at a recent meeting. Surprise! Surprise! There is a problem when an urban renewal project starts and all the current inhabitants (homeless) are moved out of their current domiciles. Thefts, sleeping on porches, opioid issues, neighbors wanting a police presence (only to find out there are not enough police to satisfy the neighborhood needs due to low pay and slow recruitment).
Bill couldn’t find any homeless vets during his investigation. Can the Rescue Mission, Catholic Charities, or Care & Share help improve the situation? Give a listen and you decide. (Episode 52, recorded 2017 10 27)
