Comments on: Julie Hankins on Low-Barrier Shelter https://eastside-olympia.org/julie-hankins-on-low-barrier-shelter/ Representing the Eastside Neighborhood of Olympia, Washington Sun, 08 Sep 2013 06:56:26 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.7.1 By: Karen Rogers https://eastside-olympia.org/julie-hankins-on-low-barrier-shelter/#comment-83 Sun, 08 Sep 2013 06:56:26 +0000 http://eastside-olympia.org/?p=1188#comment-83 I attended the meeting. What was discussed was which council members and candidates support the low-barrier shelter as currently proposed.

Currently, the proposed location is 1011 10th Ave. SE. This location falls slightly outside of the official Eastside Neighborhood boundaries, so technically, it’s not in the Eastside Neighborhood.

I encourage every Concerned Eastside Neighbor to ask each council member and candidate the following question: “Do you support locating a low-barrier shelter at 1011 10th Ave. SE?”

I’m on the city council, and my answer is NO! I am completely against locating a low-barrier shelter at 1011 10th Ave. SE, or near any school, neighborhood, elderly center, or place where there are vulnerable people.

You have an honest concern, and you deserve a straight answer. Our children’s and neighborhood’s safety is too important to evade on technicalities.
