I support the adoption of the budget funding for a no encampment zone surrounding EIH’s. It is unfair to make these neighborhoods not only host the housing developments but also suffer the enduring encampments and blight that result for residents who leave these encampments before finding permanent housing. Just look at Bernal and Monterey - tents directly across the street and in the creek besides it. Its not fair to the communities that you put EIHs to allow them to be further degraded.
Speaking on behalf of the 14 organizations that comprise the South Bay Progressive Alliance, we strongly oppose the plan proposed by Mayor Matt Mahan to divert Measure E funds away from affordable housing and toward temporary and interim solutions.
