Good Morning, Mayor, Councilmembers,
The Staff Report says this is a Permanent Supportive Housing Project PSH,) a form of housing that pairs long- term housing with low barriers to entry at an affordable cost with intensive supportive services designed to address the individual needs of residents. PSH is widely considered a best practice for ensuring the long- term stability of chronically homeless individuals, especially those in need of treatment for substance dependency or mental health challenges

Item 5.7 – Henkin
Received 6/ 9/ 2024
The site at 610 Paseo Del Rey near a school and a cannabis ( pot shop) dispensary. It does not make sense to house dependency or mentally- challenged individuals at this location. Proximity to these things is apparently the reason the Board of Supervisors just rejected a homeless shelter in Spring Valley.
I agree with Nicole ( who wrote in on the 6/ 7) that we should be " very concerned about housing for severely mentally disturbed individuals being built right next to a very popular Montessori pre- school. The grounds are shared and children are often outside, playing together when they get out. Such a proximity to the school creates a safety risk and I believe will be detrimental to the school as a business as parents may no longer want to send their children there.
Additionally, there is a cannabis dispensary right across Telegraph Canyon Road. Is that really the best place to put people who may be recovering from substance abuse issues?"
Please reject this proposal.
Regards,
Paul Henkin
