by the end of June and find housing or shelter for hundreds of homeless individuals staying at Sullivan Arena and in hotel rooms the city has used for non-congregate sheltering., said he believes the city should put the funds through its regular competitive bid process to choose an organization to receive the funds and operate the program.
The exit strategy is an agreement outlining how to shut down mass care and expand longer-term homeless services negotiated between the Assembly and the Bronson administration.“We’re trying to house people. We’re in the middle of a crisis. We don’t need to play it safe,” said Assembly member Felix Rivera, who is part of the negotiation group working on the exit plan with the administration and chair of the Committee on Housing and Homelessness.
“They also work closely with all of the case managers that we’re working with in those facilities and attend case conferencing that’s facilitated by the coalition,” Zaletel said at the meeting.The $900,000 amount would cover costs of about 50 housing units for one year, including money for rent, landlord incentives, security deposits, application fees and moving costs, said Terria Ware, an administrator with the coalition.
Zaletel recently enlisted the help of HUD’s disaster technical assistance, which has bolstered the city’s efforts to find permanent housing for people who had been staying in hotel rooms. It is highly unlikely the Assembly can vote to override the mayor’s veto because the members need a supermajority of eight votes. The resolution was passed with only seven affirmative votes.
Thank you, Mayor Dave Bronson! 👍👏👏
Disgustingly hypocratic and also a bad idea. In my experience competetive bidding just gets you a better chance of poor quality.
“Competitive bidding process” just means “let bureacrats steal it”. Trust me. I live in Haines, Alaska—I know what I’m talking about.
he who just gives money to his friends...
Who are these “some officials “? Lazy journalisming.
Bronson is exactly as incompetent as I thought he would be
Competitive bid process? You mean like the one he didn’t use on WEKA in the Golden Lion?
These ppl have to make a decision on their own & helping them isn't really helping them. They have to reach a fork in the road. (Rock bottom) I speak w/ experience. They need their lives made more difficult & miserable, not catering to their needs & supporting their lifestyle.
He doesn’t care at all about our homeless folks!
