Homeless Petition

PETITION TO EL DORADO COUNTY
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
AND
CITY OF PLACERVILLE
CITY COUNCIL

Whereas: HangTown Haven has
proven over an extended period of time to be

a clean, sanitary, safe, well operated and unobtrusive facility in which

responsible homeless people can live;

Whereas: HangTown Haven has
proven to require no cost and minimal effort

by the City of Placerville;

Whereas: There are many
responsible homeless people in Placerville
and in EI

Dorado County living with minimal shelter and inhumane, unsafe and u

conditions;

Whereas: However, some
homeless people living outside of HangTown Haven

often create a nuisance in the community and dangerous public
health and wild

fire conditions;

Therefore: The undersigned
or e-mail residents of the area petition the Board of

Supervisors of EI Dorado County and the City Council of the City of Placerville to

take the following actions:

1)
Allow HangTown Haven to continue to operate at 1688 Broadway until an
acceptable

alternative location can be found in the city or county and

activated.

2)
Jointly
work with representatives of the non-profit organizations working

with the homeless community to evaluate sites that might provide a

permanent facility or facilities for responsible homeless people living in

the greater Placerville area.

3) Develop a permanent facility or
facilities modeled after HangTown Haven

for all homeless people living in the greater Placerville
area.
