Urgent S.O.S.
Need a Safe Place to Rest at Night for Woman with Service Dog.
A porch or patio would be fine, with coverage from wind, rain, and cold and dimly lit for safety if possible. I am in my 50's, have a housing voucher, spend every day searching for safe and affordable housing, do not party and am extremely clean and respectful, do not have visitors where I sleep and come with built-in security for your property with my PTSD service dog. I am self-sufficient, do not litter, and do not panhandle. I just need a safe, dry place to rest and recharge every night.
It's already extremely cold and dangerous, with winter approaching and I cannot afford for myself or my service dog to risk getting sick and throwing us off track.
Please text or call me at 916-500-8360 if you can help, if even for a short time.
Forever grateful. . . . . . . .
Tiny homes…
This is what our community should be demanding of our leaders in our fight to end homelessness. Spending millions more on shelters is a waste of money, a waste of time, and a waste of resources.
There is only one cure to homelessness, and that is a "Home.”
Shelters are merely a way of keeping the money flowing back through dangerous hands. They are unwanted, untrusted, unsuccessful smokescreens that make numbers look good for a minute, at best. To the homeless, they are viewed as concentration camps meant only to round us up like cattle going to slaughter.
Would you want to move in with a group of people who have been living in filth and feces, infected with God knows what because they have not been provided clean water, bathing facilities, restrooms and basic medical care for years? Would you feel safe at night closing your eyes amongst a group of people with untreated mental health issues, self-medicating as a means of surviving conditions and treatment not fit for a dog? Would you feel safe?
Come on Sacramento, please have a heart and save the righteous judgment.
Who cares why a person is homeless? He still deserves the dignity of a second chance. Who cares who is on drugs? He still deserves a real opportunity for recovery. Who cares who is crazy? He still deserves the MHSA funding to help him recover and live amongst his peers.
Most importantly, you cannot know who a person is while they are fighting for their life every second of every day. You cannot judge their mental health under dire circumstances. Trust me, under the same conditions, you may not look so attractive either.
JUST SAY "NO" TO SHELTERS
AND "YES" TO TINY HOMES!
