West Side is a money pit!
The plumbing is old and wore out, all of the HVAC units need replaced the transportation costs are beyond sustainability, the facility is 25 miles from town!

It would be cheaper to build several new shelters, than to continue pouring money into this one!

The facility(s) do NOT need to be a masterpiece of architecture, in fact a KOA style campground with a store, mess hall and several out-buildings for showers and bathrooms, with fence storage space, trash can, picnic table and a fire place at each camp site, let people "camp for free" this would end all of the tent cities if people were treated like campers, e.g., they pay $2.00 per day or clean/work 1 hour per week, have security patrol for fighting or noise and hand out tickets, treat homeless like citizens aka people. The city could hire homeless to construct the campground(s) men and women will voluntarily work if they can, it gives us a sense of purpose and healing, the mess hall could have a commercial kitchen and allow NPO's to serve the homeless, thereby giving charitable groups a place to give and love one another.
