5 thoughts on “Planned low-barrier homeless shelter raises hopes and concerns

  1. This article continues to reinforce logic that, its a broken solution for the problem.. Housing first seems to be proven. How many people are ready for homes now? This is only a temporary solution. There is already a proven plan working for housing first. Even the location in Lafayette says they don’t have enough permanent housing.
    Wheeler mission proves it won’t work. After 8am, the residents in Wheeler are found sleeping on East street just south of Ohio. The business owners have all surrounded their properties with fences. What will this neighborhood end up looking like. And how will this serve the homeless. corralling them in bunk beds is an insult to their mental progress.

    Mayor Hogsett showed up to for his 15 minute speech to the crowd at the screening and then took off.
    His posse came in and bought up land without a concise plan or even sitting in community to talk with us residence.. The plan continues to change.

    Arbitrarily taxing the one mile square district to fund this is not right way to fund it.
    It sounds like there another Indy-11 scenario. We in on the street are finding ourselves having to sell to recover. Thanks Mr. Mayor. His boys began by buying land without communicating with the residents within 50 feet. There are 600k homes down shelby. Shelby can be a major artery to fountain square from Washington street. Wheres the long term development in the city when we need them. To me this shows they are shooting from the hip.

    Worst of all: The homeless will require a much more developed strategy. Housing first is a proven method. There are many homeless ready for housing first. Give them an incentive and professional intense phycological guidance. There are buildings around that with a bit of infrastructure can be housing first. If you really want the project to flourish, care about homeless, buy all the land available on this street for permanent housing.

    1. John – that’s a lot of words to remind us you don’t want it near your property. “His boys”?

      The fix requires a whole lot of money spent at the state level and that simply isn’t coming.

  2. You are correct Joe. I feel, just to say I don’t want it may not be enough for non related constituents to understand how this plan is not in the best interest in the residents or the homeless. I do support the housing first program. I attended the Beyond the Bridge screening. Its working and is suggested by others who researched it and some who have it in practice. Wheeler mission, Horizon house and the similar facility in Lafayette seem to have too many glitches. I believe in the housing first program is better than what I see going on on East Street. Your comments are making this personal. The article itself and those who have housing first in place show it works. This LBH program has been redefined too many times since they bought the first plat.
    They were just granted millions more for the project. Thanks for you input.

    1. Glad this has prompted you to do research on what’s a very large and complex issue but you’ve spent months bemoaning the location of the shelter every time it’s been mentioned and how it affected a speculative property you bought with hopes it would become the next boom area. I didn’t make it personal. As I’ve said before, I feel for you but that’s also the breaks of a real estate investment.
