changed—it has been relocated to the east of the
I-15, out of the DGSP area

To Whom It May Concern,
Section 597 states that it is cruel and unusual punishment to leave an animal outside in extreme weather conditions, it is considered inhumane, punishable by fines and possible jail time! The local cities would have us believe that nothing can be done for our people and that they are subject to stay outside in extreme weather conditions because no funding is available.
Are animals more valuable than human beings. Who do we fine or arrest for neglect of the people, The addicts, the mentally ill, the person who lost their job and their house? Who are
unable to get back on their feet because they are living in their car, with no address to put on their application. At the very least, resources should be used for immediate safety needs, such
as a warm bed and a place to shower, without being turned away due to being under the influence or mentally ill! The city should provide a police officer to assist in keeping the peace as well as drug
and mental health counseling. These services are needed regardless, and it is much safer in a contained building! In 2022 the City of Victorville spent $6,000 per code inforcement vehicle (part of which is used to shuffle the homeless population) $10,000 in fuel, $59,434 in contracted services with other companies and $50,000 in homeless camp clean -up! $500,000 went for a permanent housing solution for low-income. Yet, here we are, petitioning the city of Victorville for help with our ever growing homeless community. A building from
the Victorville fairgrounds, donated for 6 months of the year. 3 months in the winter during the nighttime ,the most crucial drop in temperature, to prevent hypothermia and 3 months in the summer- during the hottest time of the day, to prevent heat stroke. This may actually save the CIty of Victorville money that
was spent on the above mentioned things! Many things in the budget are frivelous, yet saving a person's life is not- the money spent for an emergency call due to hypothermia or heatstroke would be better spent on shelter to prevent this in the first place!
The homeless community, the people that make up the community, are people...a mother, a daughter, a sister, a brother, a father......they have loved ones that miss them, pray for them, cry for them and hurt for them! You have the opportunity to help! You can be an answer to prayer, show compassion, play a part in helping the community as a whole, with minimal effort! You supply the building and God's Hand Extended is willing to do the work, with all involved winning in the end.
Thank You for your time and consideration,
Tna Groom-
member of God's Hand Extended and caring citizen that believes in help for all our people!

Good day
I’m presenting my concern in regards to the need for a warming shelter to be open and available for our most vulnerable, homeless. The growth of persons out in our City Of Victorville is concerning. I would like to be part of the solution. How is it that this is not addressed?
I know there are some who don’t wish to be housed but to out in the cold is unacceptable. At least warm jackets coats something to help people during this time.
