Homelessness And Shasta County Supervisor Kevin Crye - "Church's And Private Citizens Responsibility"

 

Its shocking to see to top leaders making excuses why more cannot be done for homeless in Redding and Shasta County.

We have people literally dying on our streets and in the bushes, yet we have Shasta County Supervisor Kevin Crye saying taking care of homeless is "churches and private citizens responsibility, not government."

Well Bethel church wants them gone Mr Crye...

Yet here they are, Kevin Crye and Redding Mark Mezzano posing for a photo op at the bottom of Mercy canyon with the MLK ministry giving out food..... But to who? Do they know?

*There are folks serving the homeless population working closely with the City of Redding and its leaders suggesting folks DONT give away Tents, Tarps, Sleeping Bags because they cause to much of a mess. Of course, with storm after storm including several snow storms these necessary survival items could not be more crucial!

Redding Coalition for the Homeless is asking folks to help alleviate homeless suffering in Mercy Canyon by giving these items DIRECTLY TO HOMELESS folks at the Martin Luther King Park During food giveaway Saturdays at 10 am.

Here is a large "operation" just above in the canyon where these civil leaders in my opinion pretend to care and feed.

Is it the Church's and private citizens responsibility to hold civic leaders responsible?

Is it the Church's and private citizens responsibility to eliminate illegal homeless camps full of apparent neighborhood stolen possessions?

And it certainly seems these leaders refuse to clean out and attempt housing for this camp like Henderson Open Space or under Cypress Street Bridge.

There have been murders in Mercy canyon, homeless rapes, beatings, blood curdling screams of terror in the dead of night echoing through that canyon.

And believe it or not infants and children live there.

Make no mistake, its not fit for human habitation, and instead of throwing food at the problem, one should drive to Mercy hospital parking lot and look over the edge

If you grew up in Redding you will remember this is where city officials made the black community live.

Redding Mayor Mark Mezzano and Shasta County Supervisor Kevin Crye should close Mercy canyon and attempt to find housing and services for these poor struggling souls.

And stop in my opinion using them for a political fodder as if you care..
