Someone needs to handle the situation off of Virginia in Fountain Square ASAP. The city has finally cleaned up most of Pleasant Run but the Fountain Square encampment grows every day.
If you clear one encampment but don’t offer those cleared somewhere stable to go, they are forced to build another encampment. That’s the point of all of this.
It’s a shame those efficiency studio apartments just north of 38th and Emerson couldn’t be rehabbed into individual living units for a lot of these homeless people.
And have a small kitchenette or maybe even just do away with that and they can only have a microwave and a small refrigerator. Then they would have laundry services on site, the area can be fenced off and have on-site resident property manager.
Good idea.
The fact that the city wants to try and correct this problem with housing so close to downtown is crazy! It will fail just like most everything this administration attempts to do! Total failure!
One can wonder how many of them don’t want to leave the street.
This is a welcome step, but let’s stop concentrating our homeless population in and around downtown. Downtown can take its share but downtown neighborhoods can’t carry the burden alone. Concentrating large oversize shelters with hundreds of beds in one area is all wrong. It overwhelms the place. It drives away families and the middle class. If we are to further resuscitate the city center, then we need to stop that. It not only deters investment. It also fails most of the very people it’s meant to help. Many of those people chose tents because warehouse-style shelters are dehumanizing.
We need smaller, neighborhood-scaled shelters of 10 to 20 beds each and DISPERSED across the city. Think halfway-house scale, not warehousing the homeless by the hundred. Use some of the “tag-end” parcels tucked into neighborhoods citywide and create SRO style accommodations that are safe, dignified, and integrated into the urban fabric. Less concentration, more neighborhood integration. A DISTRIBUTED model respects both individuals and neighborhoods and will create a better, healthier, more livable and more humane city for everyone.
Spot on, Paul M. Tiny Houses and small group homes have been used successfully in Indianapolis, Austin, and many other cities.
This is a city government that allocates funding to close Monument Circle for a putt-putt, ping-pong and porta-potty space while allowing the recently renovated Lugar Plaza, the front yard of our City-County Building, to become a haven for drunk and drug-addled ne’er-do-wells – junkies sleeping on the swings. Mayor Lugar, looking down from his statue perch, can be nothing but appalled.
Mayor Hogsett doesn’t even have the will to clean up city hall’s front yard, much less to confront the plague of bums taking over our downtown’s common spaces. But never fear; the Democratic council supermajority is surely working up their next “solution” – a Junkie Bill of Rights, perhaps?
