Less homeless inventory soon
Typically I leave posts about not for profits and homelessness to those that specialize in this stuff. But I actually know a bit about this subject and want to venture an opinion:
First, homelessness is up a bit in the last couple years in Northwest Indiana, including Valparaiso for those that think we don't have any.
Second, eliminating Spring Valley's homeless program and turning the units into low rent units may be good for the market and even good for the tenants ... I am curious where we think the homeless will now go? Partly my own fault since I haven't been attending the coalition meetings. Seriously where?
Third, the men's shelter came under some attacks last year for daring to let homeless men put up tents in the back, next to a railroad track and an asphalt plant. Because we'd prefer they go ... where?
Thought please ....
