I think we need an independent auditor to look frankly into the Eugene homeless situation to see exactly what funds can be budgeted locally from taxpayers.  Eugene offers more services than any other area that I have ever lived in but it appears that federal monies are going to be cut next year.  The downtown is filled with homeless people and has been called an area in crisis. The consultant  that the city of Eugene hired from New York for $160,000-said it was the worse situation their firm had seen.  The city can't handle the problems downtown yet is now actively looking to the residential areas for camp sites.
