The LifeMoves doesn’t have detailed plans supporting mental health or safety maintenance, because they don’t care. They don’t care Santa Clara residents’ safety, they don’t care homeless people safety, they don’t care how much money we need to pay.
This is just a money grab for the shelter operators.
Strongly oppose the Benton shelter!! Our voices need to be listened! Please stop ruining our living environment! We do not need more crime in Santa Clara!
This proposal is not ready to be voted on.
1) No internal or external design available in the proposal
2) No Benton site policy available in the proposal
3) No budget breakdown for operation and construction cost
4) Nothing in the proposal to hold LifeMoves accountable for if they do not commit.
5) Nothing would guarantee that city and LifeMoves will follow the proposal and will not make any changes (e.g., room number, bed number, admission) after approval.
We strongly oppose the low-barrier interim housing proposed at Benton Street & Lawrence Expressway.
In light of the many issues raised during the public hearing, and the overwhelming opposition from the community, we ask that the City of Santa Clara vote NO on the Proposed Homeless Shelter at Benton Street & Lawrence Expressway.
W strongly oppose low barrier entry homeless shelter at Benton and Lawrence interaction location.
There are many reasons as thousands and thousands of people already have explained.
it's a huge safety issue for residents of the area and safety issue for families living in the shelter.
1) Funding: Huge burden on Santa Clara
2) No background checks or ID verification leading to safety and security concerns
3) County imposing shelters in Santa Clara which already has a high ratio of beds per homeless in all of county while completely not enforcing in affluent cities like Saratoga
4) Incorrect information used for distance to bus stops and market place
5) 90 bedrooms that can be converted to house singles/couples
6) 80-95% of residents oppose with 5k+ wet signatures.
