'Don't 'San Francisco' my safe neighborhood': A newly-approved homeless housing project in Marin County has sent some residents into an uproar. One man, who moved there from Oakland because he felt it was safer, says he's so fed up, he's now moving to Florida.
"They are offering services, but they're optional," Leh says."I think a program that combines the two, where treatment is required and provides housing, would be a better model."
Currently, the county says residents will have to work with a case manager, but will not be required to utilize the treatment services. The county says research shows permanent supportive housing is more successful when eligibility is not conditioned on participation in services.Some in the community do support the project. Chuck Finnie, who lives near the site, stood on Sir Francis Drake on Monday morning with a sign that called out"Nimby Hysteria.
Some in the community DO support the project. Like Chuck Finnie. He was standing on Sir Francis Drake holding this “Nimby Hysteria” sign.“I’m not scared of folks living in that facility. They’re not going to be of any danger to kids.”
