Jenkins, as usual, is missing the point. Berkowitz and his homeless coordinator, Nancy Burke, have looked at what has been successful in other cities in dealing with the homeless. They aren't just being "do gooders" with the plans they have. Housing First has virtually eliminated homelessness in Utah. Many of the commenters have criticized what the city is trying to do and suggests harsh measures to eliminate the homeless. They don't seem to realize that many of these individuals have mental health issues, as well as substance abuse problems. Right now it is difficult to obtain treatment without being on a waitlist for many months. Have a little compassion folks, and lets all work together to find a solution.
