Can I answer some of your statements?   The drug issues you saw at the park and river were there before the Ray of Hope center arrived on I st NE.   The council did hear about the center but no one can make a person remember or understand what they are hearing.   The paint flung on the building didn't happen by a homeless person.  The people sleeping in the alleys, cars and cubbys were sleeping there before the shelter opened.  It's not illegal to be homeless so police shouldn't have to stop and talk to everyone.  This location for Ray of Hope, near Valley Cities, WorkSource, DSHS and the food bank make it as close to a "one stop shop" as it can get.  Ray of Hope is not a "hand out."  I would worry when Wales decides your area of life isn't conducive to hers, that she move  you to an out of the way location.   I know you say that wouldn't happen to you but, if it's true that her dad was homeless, and she doesn't "like" the homeless, don't be so sure she likes you.
