That's true, and when people are down and out is when they are tempted to escape with drugs. It's sad and complicated. Max's Mission should not be dropping of needles at our parks to encourage them to do HARD drugs! To me they are as bad as the dealers.
Maybe if housing was affordable, instead of outrageously overpriced, and most places not accepting animals , there would be less homeless. I live in my vehicle with 2 dogs. I don't use drugs or alcohol. I battled cancer , and had to go on ssi . I don't get enough to afford any home in the entire United States , let alone in this county. Make it affordable to live, or it won't matter what you do to try to solve this crisis. Not all homeless are on drugs, or have major mental issues. I'm affected by the lack of affordable , pet friendly places to live.
California, Washington and Oregon might as well all have the same Governor. Whatever California does we do, then Washington follows. Our Governor created this mess when she followed Cali Gov Newsom You see how well his State is doing.
Wrap around services for homeless people need to be addressed for the real problem of growing homelessness, in addition to affordable housing that is not so invasive with grant funding.
Excellent meeting. Thank you to the City Council and Mayor.
The joco commissioners are a joke they have to go! it's time to clean up our streets and take back our city!
Medford clean up costs were about $250,000.00 I heard. Hope you take care of this situation soon.
If you had $1,020.00 Social Security Supplement Income per month to live, where would you live in Grants Pass?
With family

Good Job Mrs. Hamilton
Those who provide needles should have laws to reclaim the same amount of needles distributed, or face fines. These are biohazards.
Security cameras in strategic locations may help prevent crimes and alert officials of real time incidents.
Somebody should send the video of the public comment to the 9th Circuit Court.
Can I have my money back, please… In my pocket -
Where it belongs.
