I am glad the City of Phoenix staff and volunteers are helping our most
vulnerable, but the City is not thinking outside the box for long term
success.
"The City of Phoenix
has staff and volunteers on the streets during the hottest times of the
day. They're helping those most vulnerable, hoping to prevent more
deaths from the extreme heat. This comes as Maricopa County reports 29
heat-related deaths as of July 16. There were 16 heat-related deaths
confirmed in 2021 in that same time span."
I've been on the streets passing out water in the summer, and I have
seen firsthand the people living in tents with their belongings and some
with pets.
City of Phoenix and Phoenix City Council continue to put a band-aid on a
life-threatening hemorrhage.
"(Councilwoman) Ansari
says the city is actively recruiting volunteers to hand out water,
cooling station maps, and heat relief items as summer approaches."
Instead of recruiting volunteers to pass out water and cooling cloths,
why aren't they hiring homeless people who are eager for an
opportunity to earn an income and be productive?
Cooling stations are beneficial, but some people may not have
transportation to a cooling station or won't leave their possessions
and pets. Bring more cooling buses and structures to the people in need.
Why isn't the City building Pallet Homes
or a similar product on City
property? The homes provide the dignity of personal space in a healing
community environment. Assembled in under one hour, the people can help
build their own housing.
Wrap around service buildings that include showers, community eating
hall, laundry, job training programs and on-site social services are a
few solutions we can incorporate to help people transition to permanent
housing.
Private and public partnerships are essential. Corporations and private
individuals can sponsor a home going through the proper legal channels
and approved non-profits.
You might be sensing my frustration and you would be correct. My
frustration is exactly why I am the best person to represent District 6
as your Councilwoman. I won't look away from problems or kick the can
down the road. I expect results and will work hard to get them
Â
Â
District
6 deserves a Councilwoman who is a fighter, an out of the box thinker
with practical solutions. Can you help us kickoff our $9824 goal by
making a contribution today? Any amount will make the biggest difference
to our grassroots campaign. Â
