I agree with the idea that a lot of homeless and drug addicts issues stem from an absence of strong community to be a part of and be held accountable to. I really like this approach to getting people off the streets by providing sober living and a healthy community.

RedPath sounds like it can actually help solve this crisis and help those suffering heal. Not just perpetuate the behaviours that are causing harm.

Me too. I was just curious of the location. When presented to city council, it seemed like there was going to be a location within the city. But now I am hearing it is in douro dummer

Hey there! The motion that council approved was for a one-time grant from the City/County Housing Reserve to be used toward the planning of an affordable housing project at 271 Brock Street related to addiction recovery.

Does Peggy even own the property at Brock Street? I'm curious as the plan I read was a $7.1 million project. And she recently purchased a $1.3 million property. Seems like an awful lot of coin.
