Unhoused in Kansas City "A Band-Aid on a Shotgun Wound"

Correction: City Manager Brian Platt's name is misspelled at 2:38
When Scott Eike froze to death on New Year's Day, pressure to assist the unhoused community forced the city to open Bartle Hall as an overnight warming center. But as the crisis of a pandemic, sub-zero temperatures, evictions and chronic homelessness converge, houseless advocates are done accepting temporary solutions.
A new push for stable dignified housing assistance has emerged with demands that members of the unhoused community have a seat at the decision-making table.

The city owns a lot of abandoned buildings that can be to housing for homeless in our area and with the help of volunteers couldn't service them as well
