Safe Neighborhoods, help homeless, San Fernando Valley
Reclaim neighborhood safety by demanding that San Fernando Council members open a dialogue and make a plan to address the increasing number of families, people with mental illness, addiction issues, and criminal records living on the streets of the San Fernando Valley.
Why is this important?
The number of Homeless people on the streets of Los Angeles has gone down in the last year, but have increased in the San Fernando Valley (https://bit.ly/2N5rVA2). This increase in under-resourced people needs to be addressed. There are people who genuinely need assistance, as well as a large number of people who suffer from mental illness, substance abuse or are legitimately dangerous.
I have seen people shooting up in daylight at the gas station on Mason and Devonshire, a man high on meth recently scaled our backyard fence and tried to enter our home while my husband played with our children. A man attempted to crawl through my cousin's window into the bedroom of her home while she and my nephew were sleeping.
If we do not take action and do something now, we are headed down a path of extreme crisis (like San Francisco https://bit.ly/2N5rVA2). There are daily reports in our neighborhood Patch pages of needles found in parks, human feces in public play areas, as well as humans living in the worst conditions in unprotected outdoor spaces.
Please sign this petition, encouraging representatives of districts 2, 3, 6, 7 and 12—Mitch Englander, Bob Blumenfield, Monica Rodriguez, Nury Martinez, Paul Krekorian to open dialogue with the community and create a plan to take action.
