The homeless encampment outside of the Wheeler Mission is ridiculous. They have multiple full shopping carts, and rocking chairs on the sidewalk. The city needs to clean it up. They are also camping in the woods back there.

Countless bags of trash and debris are left on parking lot at this location for an excess of a week now, we believe these are left here by the homeless crowd as they have been camping at this location previously. Obviously this church has no interest in dealing with this problem and sack of trash may contain hazardous material. Typically the hummus are leaving drugs and or needles, syringe, etc..

I I know from the last email that I sent you that you're working on a plan. In the meantime, the situation in front of wheeler mission is just getting worse. There are people camping down there they have their belongings thrown everywhere. They're on the sidewalks. They're in the street. The homeless themselves are in the middle of the road. It is unsafe to drive through there at times and unsafe 100% of the time for people to walk down that sidewalk. This needs to be addressed and cleaned up

I am reaching out this morning to ask that the city address the homeless camp site next to RCA park north of Cherokee Dr and IMI concrete plant. I believe this was supposed to addressed after the severe cold a while back. Most of us on Cherokee Dr were completely understanding and have been tolerant of the homeless camp. However, the size of this camp has ballooned to highly unsafe levels. Unsafe for the residents of the camp and to the residents in this neighborhood. There has been a sharp increase in trespassing, fighting, littering all over the neighborhood, abandoned bikes and other junk. There is a constant flow of people up Cherokee and behind it and it’s only increasing. Three nights ago we had someone knocking on doors and trespassing at multiple houses. I could hear a neighbor yelling at this man because he was creeping around his house. I caught him on camera as well as a guy last night who climbed on my porch and moved furniture to look through my window. Does that sound a little creepy? It is. Stuff like this has happened more often and it really needs to be addressed. We have the services here in town, maybe not to help this number of people , but we have services and camping on private property and harassing a neighborhood as well as a new neighborhood being built isn’t part of those services. Please look into clearing this camp as soon as possible and preventing it from being established again. It’s been cleared a few times, only to have the problem increase in numbers time and time again. It is unsafe and unsanitary and the problem is only getting worse by the day.
