City Council Meeting

Sabrina DeWaldpublic commentGood evening, Council and Mayor. I'm here this evening to discuss homelessness and the strain it is currently on our city, resources not to mention taxpayers. This council sitting right here went as far as to change so that a so-called rehab place can administer drugs within Fairfax City. Pathway Homes, which look at the Google reviews, 2.5, is another one which has allowed an entire building for homeless. Those reviews come from property managers and residents who live next to those units. It says a lot. That's a problem. Additionally, this council approved a five-story building for homeless and rehab by Fairfax Circle, which is an eyesore. to the tune of $800,000 that came from the Affordable Housing Fund,

Stacy HallOkay. Yeah. I just wanted to bring that up tonight so everyone could be aware of that conversation because I do think that that's something that it's probably pretty important. Another one of the things that you and I discussed earlier was the fact that the showers would be available in some of these new potential, you know, office spaces or things like that. And I think that that's a real benefit to the employees that work there. But one of my concerns, as I mentioned earlier, was how do we ensure that those showers and those facilities are only used by people that work in those buildings and that they're not ending up being a public shower facility. Because I think Pathway Homes, they have the great shower facilities that they are taking around town.
