No one is arguing the fact that there r safety concerns sleeping outside, flood zone/no flood zone. Let’s focus on the safety concerns around preventing facilities where people could find safety. Homeless don’t have options of where they sleep right now. https://t.co/70Bgxpe71B

[Owen Camuso @ocamuso]

I agree with this and as someone who worked directly with this situation over the years, the willingness to zone a facility that provides residential services to homeless individuals is the number one barrier throughout the county.

[HereforUs @hereforuspa]

There is no shelter in Montgomery County for single adults facing homelessness. Both Pottstown and Norristown are targeting the unhoused. Being homeless is not a crime. #Housingisahumanright #wecandobebetter

Did you know that U.S. military veterans are estimated to make up a large portion – 11 percent – of homeless adults. If you are a homeless veteran or you know of a homeless veteran, call 988 *1 TODAY. Help End Homelessness for Veterans!

[HereforUs @hereforuspa]

Homelessness is a growing issue in MontCo and it is time for compassion and real solutions.

Pottstown posts notices that homeless must leave land along Schuylkill River Trail https://t.co/f3SBUTWxi8 “I’m worried about myself and all the other people down here. A lot of people down here are good people. It’s just they don’t know where to go either." @rachelravina

Since the CHOC closed, there is no shelter for single adults in PA's 3rd wealthiest County.

[Owen Camuso @ocamuso]

I agree with Mark here that we are just moving people around. If we are doing this let’s just get a short term housing facility and then transition people into permanent housing…”safety issues” of extreme weather - SOLVED https://t.co/4aB1ibpB6E

Food insecurity continues to rise locally and across the country. SNAP benefits were reduced with the end of the Public Health Emergency earlier this year and the impact continues to be felt.
