City Council Candidates Sign On to Regulations

Homeless Congress Ask Candidates for Help

The members of the Homeless Congress have sent letters to all 57 candidates running for City Council asking for support of legislation that would regulate the shelters. After two weeks, nine candidates have signed on in support including three incumbents. We hope to get a response to the mailing this week. You can check out the website to see the list of candidates who support some kind of regulation of the local homeless shelters. The big issue for homeless people is that they need one place within government to go to complain about conditions. The members of the Homeless Congress have pushed this legislation for the last two years, and hope to see some progress in the fall.
