FAC Sends Proposal to Miami Mayor With Solution to Homeless Problem
The following letter was sent to the Mayor of the City of Miami concerning the homeless crisis. We do feel it presents a very viable solution to the homeless issue.
Florida Action Committee
With Unity Comes Change
Hear Hear!!
An excellent letter full of common sense and truth!
… I bet they ignore it đ
What if every one of us printed out all 15 pages and mailed them to Suarez?
I’m going to.
Excellent. Let us know if you get a response.
“Additionally, common sense dictates that a law that controls where someone sleeps between 10PM and 6AM (when schools
are closed and children are generally home, sleeping) would not make children safer. ”
That was the best sentence in the letter and the reason why they will not take you up on it. Common sense left politics, both parties, long ago.
Have you considered sending that to the editor at the Miami Herald as an opinion piece to see if they will print it.
They were cc’ed. Alan, if you’d like to help, you can share it with other publications in Florida. Can you spearhead that project?
I love you guys! Everyday, in a sometimes thankless effort you fight for us! Thank you for this! How can we make this more publicly known? God bless you all.
By sharing it. Here’s a list of all the commissioners in Miami-Dade https://www.miamidade.gov/global/government/commission/home.page you can look for their email addresses and send them a copy of the letter.
Here is another list for the City of Miami officials: https://www.miamigov.com/My-Government/City-Officials just click on their info and their emails are right there. You can send them a copy of the letter as well. It shouldn’t take more than a few minutes in total, but someone needs to do it.
You can also forward it to the editorial contact for The Miami Herald, The Miami New Times, The Miami Times, Miami Today, Sun Sentinel, any of the stations listed here: https://www.stationindex.com/tv/markets/miami-ft.+lauderdale.
Can anyone volunteer to do this? Please just reply to this message letting us know you will, and which list you will take care of (Miami-Dade, Miami, Newspapers, TV Stations). Hopefully we can get 4 people to volunteer.
I will take the TV and newspapers.
Thank you Anonymous!!! Does anyone want to take the City and County lawmakers?
Not to mention the enormous burden that would be taken off the shoulders of the S.O. for having to process 445 transient registrations. That has got to be burdensome and expensive.
With the money saved suitable housing could probably be afforded to the the homeless population that they actually care help.
Can’t some of our donations go to help former sex offenders find housing when they are released from jail?
We have an outreach committee that has helped people with tents, clothing and other needs, but we don’t have the financial resources to spend on rent. The problem is not that these people can’t afford the housing or they don’t have family or friends who would take them in. It’s the residency restrictions that’s preventing it.
