Mayor Mike Johnston has revealed a $48.6 million budget for his plan to house 1,000 homeless people by the end of the year.
about some of them before they've even been constructed. The mayor addressed those concerns Tuesday, saying that the data backs up the city's stance that micro-communities are safer.
"So you're talking about sites that are literally one-one thousandth of the safety risk to the community of what the current situation is," Johnston concluded."The most dangerous thing to communities would be for us to do what we've done in the past. That's actually the single most dangerous strategy — is keep folks living in encampments that are unsupervised, unstructured, unsafe.
He set aside $750,000 in the housing plan budget for"encampment response" to move homeless residents, which will be used for outreach, transportation, temporary portable bathrooms and"related services," according to the budget. The biggest cost will ultimately be for hotel conversions — at $24.3 million. Most of that is accounted for by the purchase and budget to operate the former Best Western hotel at 4595 Quebec Street.
The budget to lease new units"that we can bring on board around the city" will be $4 million, the mayor said."We're going to contract with partners to get people off the streets and directly into housing," he added. "The great bulk of these dollars come from our existing HOST budget," Johnston said."Keep in mind the city currently has about $250 million allocated in this year's budget that was meant to focus on housing and on homelessness."
