Kevin, Asbury Park already houses many homeless people.
The housing authority provides homes through federal housing and the old section 8 program. Close to 900 households. Some of those people/families pay nothing because they can't. Those people ARE homeless, if not for Asbury Park housing them. So no, we don't need a shelter here. We do enough. That's the point of the people that oppose the shelter. It's a question of degree - how much is Asbury expected to do with limited resources, while others with more resources do less? By the way: Asbury Park federally subsidized housing: 13% Long Branch federally subsidized housing: 10% If you are going to moralize with Mario, give him a call when Long Branch passes 13%. --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, "Kevin Brown" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > so you finally admit that there is a need for a shelter in Asbury Park. > > I feel like I have been danceing all night. > > So in other words, you want some other agency, organization or group to > open a shelter, just not the market street mission people? > Yahoo!
