We are the lead homeless street outreach in Mecklenburg County.
Some of my community partners that spoke before me mentioned a few disturbing numbers, one of which is the 52,000 households that
to have evictions filed against them.
I want to also put some other numbers into perspective as to what happens to these families once they get evicted.
In our very, very small street outreach program, over the last three years, we have had over 400 children come through our program.
That means children that were sleeping in a place not meant for human habitation.
The housing, I am in firm support of the housing trust fund increase, as well as the people's budget.
While we all know why there's a big draw or big concerns about public safety, but I also think it's very, very important to mention that there should be an increase in supportive services in uptown and on the trains to combat that.
We need street outreach programs, working with CMPD to help these people.
The jails are full.
We heard the sheriff say that.
The jails are full.
So we cannot arrest our way out of homelessness.
We can't arrest our way out of poverty.
So I'm just, that's all I got.
Good evening council members of city leadership.
My name is .
I'm proud to stand here today as a Charlotte water employee speaking not only for myself, but for many of the hardworking men and women who keep the city functioning every single day.
Charlotte water is one of the,
only three true 24-hour operational departments within the city of Charlotte.
