HUFF <\/em><\/strong>Suggestions for Between-Meeting Activity<\/strong>    
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  <\/strong>++++  Shelterwatch:  the City is spending lots of $$ on shelter for a minority of the folks outside.  HUFF<\/em> has been receiving mixed reports of the Armory\/LookOut shelter\u2014which does provide meals and transport, but bans visiting (even within the encampments) and some feel maintains a “prison-like” atmosphere.  It was created as a go-to excuse for police to demolish the Benchlands (whose demolition funding that was transferred from a “homeless benefit” grant).  Please report both the positive and negative reports or experiences from 1220 River St., 150 Coral St., and the Armory\/Overlook shelters.  Call 831-423-4833 and leave a brief report or your contact info.<\/strong>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
