Blog note: This letter refers to Marin County grand jury reports
Sadly,
it appears that the Marin County Board of Supervisors has never really wanted
to help the homeless (“State officials rebuke Marin for ditching homeless
project,” Nov. 15). Not only has it ignored three
Marin Civil Grand Jury reports recommending shelters (and the money is
there to support them) but it has always been a force of rejection in finding
solutions to a growing homeless problem in Marin.
We
are now dealing with a pandemic that has caused thousands of people in this and
every community to lose their jobs and more people are losing their homes. Yet
the supervisors do nothing. Every opportunity to show some compassion for the
most vulnerable is rejected. They seem to be out of touch with how Marin feels
about sheltering and helping our homeless.
Shame
on the Board of Supervisors. This is a sad moment for the heart of Marin.
