GUNSHOTS IN THE AREA OF THEIR  

95
00:03:38,418 --> 00:03:39,886
HOME. THIS ISN'T SURPRISING  

96
00:03:39,886 --> 00:03:43,223
GIVEN THE CITY KNOWS BIASED  

97
00:03:43,223 --> 00:03:45,024

YOU CAN ALL DO BETTER, I THINK  

108
00:04:10,450 --> 00:04:15,355
WE CAN ALL DO BETTER.

BECAUSE THE SPEAKER WAS WEARING 

182
00:06:55,348 --> 00:06:57,016
A MASK, SO IT SOUNDS LIKE THE 

183
00:06:57,016 --> 00:07:03,423
MICS ARE OPERATING OKAY. THANK 

184
00:07:03,423 --> 00:07:03,756
YOU.  

185
00:07:03,756 --> 00:07:06,859
>> YEAH, NO OBJECTION TO LETTIN 

186
00:07:06,859 --> 00:07:09,162
THE SPEAKER SPEAK AGAIN SINCE 

187
00:07:09,162 --> 00:07:11,397
COUNCIL MEMBERS COULD NOT HEAR 

188
00:07:11,397 --> 00:07:13,332
HIS COMMENTS. SO GO AHEAD,  

189
00:07:13,332 --> 00:07:15,234
PLEASE. YOU HAVE ONE MORE  

190
00:07:15,234 --> 00:07:15,468
MINUTE. 

191
00:07:15,468 --> 00:07:18,171
>> DEAR FRIEND, I AM SINCERELY 

192
00:07:18,171 --> 00:07:18,971
SORRY YOU'RE IN. AND HOWEVER, 

193
00:07:18,971 --> 00:07:22,041
THIS IS NOT A GOOD PLAE FOR YOU 

194
00:07:22,041 --> 00:07:23,676
TO LIVE EVEN TEMPORARILY. WHEN  

195
00:07:23,676 --> 00:07:25,178
THE FIRST LAW LOTTERY SHOWED UP 

196
00:07:25,178 --> 00:07:26,512
LAST YEAR, IT BROUGHT THE  

197
00:07:26,512 --> 00:07:27,847
NEIGHBORHOOD TOGETHER. OUR KIDS 

198
00:07:27,847 --> 00:07:28,848
ARE SCARED, OUR WIVES ARE 

199
00:07:28,848 --> 00:07:31,918
HARASSED. SOME OF YOU ARE SEX 

200
00:07:31,918 --> 00:07:32,618
OFFENDERS, DRUG DEALERS,  

201
00:07:32,618 --> 00:07:35,021
ADDICTS, ALL OF YOU MAKE A MESS 

202
00:07:35,021 --> 00:07:35,788
EVERYONE HAS HANDLED IT 

203
00:07:35,788 --> 00:07:37,723
DIFFERENTLY. SOME COMPLAIN TO 

204
00:07:37,723 --> 00:07:39,792
THE MAYOR. BUT NOW WE'RE FED UP 

205
00:07:39,792 --> 00:07:41,561
AND SOME PEOPLE ARE READY TO  

206
00:07:41,561 --> 00:07:43,196
MAKE YOUR LIFE SHEAR HELL, AND  

207
00:07:43,196 --> 00:07:44,263
WILL DAMAGE YOUR VEHICLE, SO  

208
00:07:44,263 --> 00:07:46,732
THEY CAN NO LONGER KEEP YOU WAR 

209
00:07:46,732 --> 00:07:48,334
OR DRIVABLE. THEY'RE READY AND  

210
00:07:48,334 --> 00:07:49,802
LOOKING TO FIGHT. THIS WILL  

211
00:07:49,802 --> 00:07:51,537
HAPPEN LIKELY SOON. YOU HAVE  

212
00:07:51,537 --> 00:07:53,873
BEEN WARNED. I TAKE THIS AS A  

213
00:07:53,873 --> 00:07:56,275
DECLARATION OF WAR, AND AS A  

214
00:07:56,275 --> 00:07:58,144
MILITARY VETERAN, I KNOW ABOUT 

215
00:07:58,144 --> 00:08:00,046
WAR. I'VE SEEN KILLING. AND IF

GET US SOME PLACE SAFE TO PARK, 

218
00:08:03,916 --> 00:08:06,018
THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT'S GOING TO

00:08:06,018 --> 00:08:08,087
HAPPEN. SOMEBODY IS GOING TO GE 

220
00:08:08,087 --> 00:08:08,921
KILLED. MAYBE EVEN AN INNOCENT 

221
00:08:08,921 --> 00:08:14,627
CHILD. THANK YOU.  

222
00:08:14,627 --> 00:08:19,098

NEIGHBORS AND I JUST WANT TO SA

GUNS SHOT NEAR THEIR RVs TO  

230
00:08:34,180 --> 00:08:35,915
SCARE THEM. I'VE SEEN PEOPLE  

231
00:08:35,915 --> 00:08:38,351
DUMP TRASH AND DO MUCH WORSE TO 

232
00:08:38,351 --> 00:08:40,686
THEIR HOMES. THESE PEOPLE  

233
00:08:40,686 --> 00:08:41,787
DESERVE A SAFE LOT. LIFETIME

237
00:08:47,727 --> 00:08:51,530
EMERGENCIES AND CAN'T THEY THEI 

238
00:08:51,530 --> 00:08:52,532
BILLS. GOOD NEIGHBORS. THEY'RE  

239
00:08:52,532 --> 00:08:54,000
HAVING TO DEAL WITH THIS? WHERE

00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,168
IS THE RV SAFE LOT? WHO IS  

241
00:08:56,168 --> 00:08:57,470
TAKING CARE OF THEM, AND WHO 

242
00:08:57,470 --> 00:08:58,905
WILL KEEP THEM SAFE WHEN 

243
00:08:58,905 --> 00:09:00,039
NEIGHBORS DECIDE TO DO WORSE IN

00:09:00,039 --> 00:09:03,276

COUNCIL MEMBERS WHO MAY NOT HAV

MULTIPLE RVs IN ONE

00:09:16,188 --> 00:09:18,557
ANNOYING TO THREATENING. SO  

252
00:09:18,557 --> 00:09:20,626
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

HORNER, I'VE BEEN GOING THROUGH

PERSON LIVING IN THE RV OR IN M

BUS FOR OVER A YEAR NOW. I KNOW 

261
00:09:42,715 --> 00:09:43,950
WE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR FINDING  

262
00:09:43,950 --> 00:09:45,451
THE RV LOT, BUT THE CITY COULD  

263
00:09:45,451 --> 00:09:48,387
DO A LOT AS THEY HELP DONATE  

264
00:09:48,387 --> 00:09:50,990
PROPERTY. RIGHT NOW AT THIS 

265
00:09:50,990 --> 00:09:52,925
POINT, WE'VE BEEN WAITING SINCE 

266
00:09:52,925 --> 00:09:53,859
LAR MARCH. THEY GOT APPROVED  

267
00:09:53,859 --> 00:09:55,528
LAST MARCH, AND THEY HAD A LOT  

268
00:09:55,528 --> 00:09:57,229
OF MONEY. A LOT OF MONEY TO 

269
00:09:57,229 --> 00:10:00,166
BUILD THIS LOT, AND WE HAVE  

270
00:10:00,166 --> 00:10:04,136
NOWHERE TO PARK. NOBODY HAS DON 

271
00:10:04,136 --> 00:10:04,804
ANYTHING ABOUT IT. BUT SOMETHIN 

272
00:10:04,804 --> 00:10:06,605
NEEDS TO BE UP FOR THESE BLOCKS 

273
00:10:06,605 --> 00:10:08,708
WE DON'T HAVE A PLACE TO PARK, 

274
00:10:08,708 --> 00:10:11,610
AND YOU GUYS ARE PUSHING US OUT 

275
00:10:11,610 --> 00:10:14,013
OF THE INDUSTRIAL AREA INTO THE 

276
00:10:14,013 --> 00:10:14,981
NEIGHBORHOODS. THINGS LIKE THIS 

277
00:10:14,981 --> 00:10:16,549
HAPPEN. WE DON'T WANT TO PARK  

278
00:10:16,549 --> 00:10:19,251
NEXT TO THESE BUSINESSES OR THE 

279
00:10:19,251 --> 00:10:21,487

PARK SOMEWHERE WHERE WE ARE 

281
00:10:22,254 --> 00:10:24,790

OPEN A NEW PARK IN ANOTHER  

283
00:10:29,095 --> 00:10:30,196
MONTH. ALL BECAUSE BELLEVUE

FOLLOWED BY ALEX ZIMMERMAN.  

290
00:10:48,047 --> 00:10:51,417
>> ALL RIGHT. AS A WEST SEATTLE 

291
00:10:51,417 --> 00:10:53,285
HOMEOWNER, I FEEL NEITHER  

292
00:10:53,285 --> 00:10:54,587
THREATENED NOR HARASSED BY  

293
00:10:54,587 --> 00:10:57,590
JESSE, BUT I'M DISGUSTED BY THE 

294
00:10:57,590 --> 00:10:58,391
LETTER. I'M EXTREMELY  

295
00:10:58,391 --> 00:11:00,326
DISAPPOINTED BY THE RESPONSE OF 

296
00:11:00,326 --> 00:11:01,060
SWEEPS WITH NO SUPPORT. THIS 

297
00:11:01,060 --> 00:11:02,628
FORCES PEOPLE TO MOVE EVERY FEW 

298
00:11:02,628 --> 00:11:05,064
WEEKS AND FACE THREATS IN A 

299
00:11:05,064 --> 00:11:06,032
DIFFERENT LOCATION. THIS POLICY 

300
00:11:06,032 --> 00:11:10,069
OF SWEEPS IS NOT ONLY CRUEL AND 

301
00:11:10,069 --> 00:11:11,537
INHUMANE, BUT DANGEROUS. WHEN  

302
00:11:11,537 --> 00:11:14,407
THE CITY LIES TO HOUSE SERVICES 

303
00:11:14,407 --> 00:11:17,543
WHICH THEY ARE NOT. THE CITY IS 

304
00:11:17,543 --> 00:11:18,711
ENCOURAGING VIOLENCE AGAINST OU 

305
00:11:18,711 --> 00:11:21,747
RV AND TENT NEIGHBORS. THESE  

306
00:11:21,747 --> 00:11:23,916
THREATS ARE INCREASING, AND THE 

307
00:11:23,916 --> 00:11:24,750
VIOLENCE IS LIVING OUTSIDE. WHY 

308
00:11:24,750 --> 00:11:26,852
IS THE CITY SPENDING $38 MILLIO 

309
00:11:26,852 --> 00:11:29,055
ON SWEEPS AND A $2 MILLION GRAN 

310
00:11:29,055 --> 00:11:33,459
FOR AN RV SAFE LOT SITS UNUSED? 

311
00:11:33,459 --> 00:11:34,760
THE CITY DECLARED A HOMELESS 

312
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:37,263
EMERGENCY QUOTE TEN YEARS AGO I 

313
00:11:37,263 --> 00:11:39,932
SEATTLE, AND WE CAN'T EVEN GET 

314
00:11:39,932 --> 00:11:41,967
ONE SAFE LOT UILT? I LOVE THE  

315
00:11:41,967 --> 00:11:42,768
SUGGESTION OF DONATING PROPERTY 

316
00:11:42,768 --> 00:11:44,236
LIKE THE CITY CAN DO SOMETHING 

317
00:11:44,236 --> 00:11:46,238
AT THIS POINT. WE NEED TO GET I 

318
00:11:46,238 --> 00:11:48,541
DONE NOW. WE CAN'T ALLOW THE  

319
00:11:48,541 --> 00:11:49,675
VIOLENCE TO CONTINUE. WE CANNOT 

320
00:11:49,675 --> 00:11:51,110
ALLOW IT TO CONTINUE IN ONE OF  

321
00:11:51,110 --> 00:11:54,580
THE RICHEST CITIES IN THIS 

322
00:11:54,580 --> 00:11:55,881
COUNTRY. IT'S NOT OKAY. THANKS. 

323
00:11:55,881 --> 00:11:56,015

SEATTLE. SO WHY IS THIS  

330
00:12:20,039 --> 00:12:24,844
HAPPENED? WHY DO YOU KILL 300  

331
00:12:24,844 --> 00:12:27,346
HOMELESS? YOUR SALARY IS  

332
00:12:27,346 --> 00:12:29,548
$150,000. YOU SPEND $150,000 FO

EACH ONE BEDROOM APARTMENT COST 

334
00:12:32,485 --> 00:12:33,219
$1,000 PER MONTH. IT'S $12,000. 

335
00:12:33,219 --> 00:12:38,090
WHAT IS THE REASON TO SPEND 

336
00:12:38,090 --> 00:12:40,693
$12,000? FOR $12,000 YOU GIVE

EVERYBODY ONE BEDROOM APARTMENT 

338
00:12:41,594 --> 00:12:43,295
IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE. AND

YOU'RE DOING THIS BUSINESS FOR  

340
00:12:44,463 --> 00:12:46,799

00:12:46,799 --> 00:12:49,034

WISH I COULD SAY MORE FROM THE  

385
00:15:02,134 --> 00:15:03,736
THING RIGHT NOW ABOUT THAT, BUT 

386
00:15:03,736 --> 00:15:07,373
THE EXTENT OF WHAT I CAN SAY IS 

387
00:15:07,373 --> 00:15:10,109
JUST THAT THIS COUNCIL FEELS 

388
00:15:10,109 --> 00:15:11,510

00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:42,735
CITY COUNCIL HAS BEEN A 

428
00:16:42,735 --> 00:16:45,471
SUPPORTER OF THIS WORK FROM 

429
00:16:45,471 --> 00:16:48,073
EARLY DAYS AND IN A VERY REAL 

430
00:16:48,073 --> 00:16:49,641
SENSE THAT WOULD NOT HAVE COME 

431
00:16:49,641 --> 00:16:51,744
TO FRUITION, AND WE WOULD NOT 

432
00:16:51,744 --> 00:16:53,879
HAVE BEEN ABLE TO COMPLETE THE 

433
00:16:53,879 --> 00:16:57,483
LEARNING ARC THAT WE'RE GOING T

STRONG COUNCIL INTERVENTION TO 

436
00:17:04,390 --> 00:17:07,359
MAKE SURE THE WORK REMAINS A 

437
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:11,029
LIE. TODAY IS THE FIRST DAY,  

438
00:17:11,029 --> 00:17:15,834
MARCH 1, 2023, THAT THE DIGNITY

ACTION, NO LONGER THE PUBLIC 

440
00:17:18,404 --> 00:17:19,071
ASSOCIATION. WE PROVIDE PROJECT 

441
00:17:19,071 --> 00:17:23,275
MANAGEMENT AND DESIGN SUPPORT  

442
00:17:23,275 --> 00:17:23,709
FOR COMMUNITY BASED 

443
00:17:23,709 --> 00:17:26,211
ALTERNATIVES, SAFETY STRATEGIES 

444
00:17:26,211 --> 00:17:31,283
AND AS ELUDED TO IN PUBLIC  

445
00:17:31,283 --> 00:17:32,751
COMMENT BY GEORGE SCOROLA, WHOS 

446
00:17:32,751 --> 00:17:35,054
STORY I WANTED TO HEAR THE END  

447
00:17:35,054 --> 00:17:36,722
OF. SINCE THE ORIGIN OF THE WOR 

448
00:17:36,722 --> 00:17:41,093
REALLY TRACES BACK TO LEAD, LAW 

449
00:17:41,093 --> 00:17:43,362
ENFORCEMENT, ASSISTED DIVERSION 

450
00:17:43,362 --> 00:17:44,396
LETTING EVERYONE ADVANCE WITH 

451
00:17:44,396 --> 00:17:46,999
DIGNITY. LEAD IS A PROGRAM NOW  

452
00:17:46,999 --> 00:17:49,868
REPLICATED AROUND THE COUNTRY,  

453
00:17:49,868 --> 00:17:53,705
I'M ACTUALLY IN MINNEAPOLIS  

454
00:17:53,705 --> 00:17:55,941
RIGHT NOW CONSULTING THEIR JUST 

455
00:17:55,941 --> 00:18:02,147
NEED IN 2011. THE BASIC IDEA IS 

456
00:18:02,147 --> 00:18:03,048
TO PROVIDE WRAPAROUND CASE 

457
00:18:03,048 --> 00:18:06,251
MANAGEMENT FOR AS LONG AS IT  

458
00:18:06,251 --> 00:18:08,220
TAKES TO STABILIZE AND FOSTER  

459
00:18:08,220 --> 00:18:09,955
RECOVERY FOR PEOPLE WHO  

460
00:18:09,955 --> 00:18:12,558
OTHERWISE ARE HIGHLY LIKELY TO  

461
00:18:12,558 --> 00:18:14,493
BE ENGAGED BIT CRIMINALLY WEALT 

462
00:18:14,493 --> 00:18:17,529
SYSTEM RELATED TO BEHAVIOR THAT 

463
00:18:17,529 --> 00:18:18,797
IS PROBLEMATIC, OFTENTIMES FOR  

464
00:18:18,797 --> 00:18:19,832
THEMSELVES THAT ARE RATHER  

465
00:18:19,832 --> 00:18:26,705
PEOPLE, BUT RELATES TO DRUG USE 

466
00:18:26,705 --> 00:18:28,407
MENTAL ILLNESS, OR POVERTY. AND 

467
00:18:28,407 --> 00:18:30,809
SO IS SUSCEPTIBLE TO STRATEGIES 

468
00:18:30,809 --> 00:18:34,513
AND SOLUTIONS OF COMMUNITY BASE 

469
00:18:34,513 --> 00:18:36,115
CARE RATHER THAN PUNISHMENT. SO 

470
00:18:36,115 --> 00:18:37,683
LEAD PROVIDES THAT STREET BASED 

471
00:18:37,683 --> 00:18:39,117
CASE MANAGEMENT AND CARE 

472
00:18:39,117 --> 00:18:43,522
COORDINATION, AND IT HAS BEEN 

473
00:18:43,522 --> 00:18:47,326
THE LAST DECADE. IN 2020, WE HA 

474
00:18:47,326 --> 00:18:48,694
JUST SEEN AN INCREASED HARD  

475
00:18:48,694 --> 00:18:51,263
FOUGHT DECISION BY THE CITY TO  

476
00:18:51,263 --> 00:18:54,399
STEP UP ITS COMMITMENT TO LEAD, 

477
00:18:54,399 --> 00:18:58,437
SO WE COULD START TAKING  

478
00:18:58,437 --> 00:18:59,137
CONSIDERABLY MORE REFERRALS. AN 

479
00:18:59,137 --> 00:19:01,874
WHEN THOSE FUNDS CAME ONLINE,  

480
00:19:01,874 --> 00:19:03,408
THAT HAPPENED TO COINCIDE REALL 

481
00:19:03,408 --> 00:19:05,010
WITH THE VERY EARLY DAYS OF THE 

482
00:19:05,010 --> 00:19:09,515
COVID PANDEMIC. AND THAT  

483
00:19:09,515 --> 00:19:10,482
PRESENTED, OBVIOUSLY, YOU KNOW, 

484
00:19:10,482 --> 00:19:13,418
COMPREHENSIVE CHALLENGES FOR 

485
00:19:13,418 --> 00:19:14,920
EVERYBODY IN EVERY WAY. BUT FOR 

486
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:16,688
US, MANAGING LEAD, AND WE HAD  

487
00:19:16,688 --> 00:19:20,292
BEEN ON THE CUSP OF BUILDING A  

488
00:19:20,292 --> 00:19:23,162
NEW WORK FORCE THAT WOULD  

489
00:19:23,162 --> 00:19:25,097
PROVIDE THOSE CASE MANAGEMENT T 

490
00:19:25,097 --> 00:19:27,399
MANY MORE PEOPLE. WE WERE  

491
00:19:27,399 --> 00:19:29,234
PRESENTED WITH AN IMMEDIATE SET 

492
00:19:29,234 --> 00:19:31,136
OF CHALLENGES THAT COLEAD AND  

493
00:19:31,136 --> 00:19:33,438
JUST CARE ENDED UP BEING THE  

494
00:19:33,438 --> 00:19:35,707
ANSWER TO. WE HAD RESOURCES THA 

495
00:19:35,707 --> 00:19:37,743
WERE CLEARLY BADLY NEEDED AS YO 

496
00:19:37,743 --> 00:19:40,946
MAY, LIKE IF WE CAN ALL GO BACK 

497
00:19:40,946 --> 00:19:45,817
TO WHAT IT WAS IN THAT, THE  

498
00:19:45,817 --> 00:19:46,752
SPRING OF 2020. SUMMER OF 2020. 

499
00:19:46,752 --> 00:19:48,754
IT WAS EVIDENT THAT AS BROADLY 

500
00:19:48,754 --> 00:19:51,089
AS MANY PEOPLE HAD NEEDED LEAD 

501
00:19:51,089 --> 00:19:55,027
CASE MANAGEMENT AND FLEX FUNDS 

502
00:19:55,027 --> 00:19:57,396
BEFORE THE PANDEMIC, ALL THE 

503
00:19:57,396 --> 00:20:00,098
MORE. WAS THAT THE CASE IN 2020 

504
00:20:00,098 --> 00:20:05,270
AS PEOPLE WHO HAD BEEN IN  

505
00:20:05,270 --> 00:20:09,007
SHELTERS WERE DEINCENSE VISED I 

506
00:20:09,007 --> 00:20:11,710
ORDER TO PREVENT COVID  

507
00:20:11,710 --> 00:20:13,345
TRANSITION. SO SOME PEOPLE WERE 

508
00:20:13,345 --> 00:20:14,680
TRANSFERRED, BUT MANY OTHERS  

509
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:15,781
TURNED OUT TO THE STREETS  

510
00:20:15,781 --> 00:20:16,548
BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT  

511
00:20:16,548 --> 00:20:18,884
ELSE TO DO AND THERE WASN'T  

512
00:20:18,884 --> 00:20:20,385
ALREADY AN ALTERNATIVE. MANY OF 

513
00:20:20,385 --> 00:20:23,522
THE FOLKS WE WORK WITH IN LEAD  

514
00:20:23,522 --> 00:20:25,524
HAD ALREADY NOT BEEN WELCOMED  

515
00:20:25,524 --> 00:20:26,892
GUESTS IN THE CONGREGANT SHELTE 

516
00:20:26,892 --> 00:20:28,227
SYSTEMS, SO THEY WERE ALREADY  

517
00:20:28,227 --> 00:20:30,762
OUTSIDE. BUT NOW THEY WERE CUT  

518
00:20:30,762 --> 00:20:32,431
OFF FROM PUBLIC SPACES LIKE  

519
00:20:32,431 --> 00:20:33,966
LIBRARIES AND COMMUNITY CENTERS 

520
00:20:33,966 --> 00:20:37,603
AND ALSO FROM THE BEHAVIORAL  

521
00:20:37,603 --> 00:20:41,073
HEALTH AND PHYSICAL HEALTHCARE  

522
00:20:41,073 --> 00:20:41,707
SYSTEM ALTOGETHER. EVERYTHING  

523
00:20:41,707 --> 00:20:42,941
WAS CLOSED. YOU KNOW, SITTING  

524
00:20:42,941 --> 00:20:49,781
WHERE WE ARE TODAY, IT IS HARD  

525
00:20:49,781 --> 00:20:55,020
TO BE RECALLED ON HOW DRAMATIC  

526
00:20:55,020 --> 00:20:56,622
THE SITUATION WAS. OR THOUGH  

527
00:20:56,622 --> 00:20:58,056
WITH A W-2 PRETTY EARLY ON  

528
00:20:58,056 --> 00:21:00,259
GETTING THE MESSAGE THAT THERE  

529
00:21:00,259 --> 00:21:02,060
WOULD BE RELIEF STRATEGIES IF  

530
00:21:02,060 --> 00:21:02,995
THEIR JOBS CLOSED DOWN. BUT  

531
00:21:02,995 --> 00:21:05,030
PEOPLE WHO HAD BEEN MAKING THEI 

532
00:21:05,030 --> 00:21:07,232
LIVING IN THE SORT OF GRAY 

533
00:21:07,232 --> 00:21:09,468
ECONOMY OR THE ILLICIT ECONOMY 

534
00:21:09,468 --> 00:21:11,436
DID NOT HAVE THOSE STRATEGIES. 

535
00:21:11,436 --> 00:21:13,939
