With Boyle Street needing to find a new home come Oct. 1, many community members fear they will be left out on the street.
Candy Papastesis said Boyle Street previously helped her get ID – a lengthy and challenging process for houseless persons and something that is needed in order to find housing. Having lost her identification, she now has to go through the process again but doesn’t know how that’s going to happen and, subsequently, how she will get home, ultimately leaving her left out on the street.
“All that’s being done is putting band-aids on serious wounds and those serious wounds are just going to be infected and become worse and the results of it are going to be life and death,” Gurnett said. “The community is suffering right now, we can’t even measure it because it affects so many brothers and sisters,” said Judith Gale of Bear Claw Beaver Hills House about the Boyle Street building closing.
