紧急！大量有精神问题，吸毒史和犯罪记录的流浪汉将入住南湾！请大家紧急行动！

继去年南湾一系列收容所计划之后，最近圣克拉拉县政府又计划在Santa Clara, Sunnyvle交界的亚裔聚集区和华人非常喜欢的几所私立小学附近拟建流浪汉收容所。最可怕的是，这次准备搭建的是无门槛收容所，正式开启了南湾居民区无门槛收容所的第一站，对整个南湾治安和生活环境威胁极大。

收容所的位置在Lawrence & Benton 交叉口，这一小片空地，以往每年万圣节都会变成五彩缤纷的充气游乐园+南瓜地，很多家庭应该都记得那个高高的Lightning Mcqueen充气滑梯。而现在，Santa Clara 县联合Santa Clara市准备把这里变成一个214间、收容上百人的4层楼高集装箱式的Homeless shelter！对入住者没有任何门槛，确认入住者过半将有精神问题、吸毒史和犯罪记录！

 Santa Clara benton/Lawrence Expy的这个Homeless Shelter, 会把瘾君子, 精神病人和暴力犯罪的人, 不做筛选的收纳进来. 而这刚好是20多所学校的中心, 离超市医院和Apple都很近. 不要提家里有老人和小孩的家庭, 即使中青年如我们, 经过都会心生不安. 不要觉得事不关己, 一旦通过, 那么以后湾区所有City都可以以此为例, 在居民区建立这种Low Barrier Shelter. 那时候就为时已晚了. 即使不住在附近, 也请帮忙签这个petition谢谢大家 https://drive.google.com/file/d/1J7Zh0b7I4HFcAH5n9O8Y2jRZba8DmWZH/view?usp=drivesdk

请大家先吧这些问题和要求看一下，尽量用自己的方式重新组织一下语言，不要直接复制粘贴。

• Too close to 24 schools and daycares. Serious safety concern.
• We oppose no prior research having been done on the impact of this shelter to the neighborhood. 
• 80-100 rooms are too many for this tiny land.
• We oppose a shelter accepting people with criminal history and drug issues. We oppose no screening procedures.
• We oppose people with mental issues living in this shelter.
• We oppose tiny removable homes, instead of concrete buildings. 
• No plans for management, no guarantee for neighborhood safety and quality of life. 
• We oppose this shelter with a 1:100 staff/homeless ratio, and only volunteers onsite to treat mental illness.
• This shelter is only 0.5 miles from another shelter, Bella Vista.
• No research and evidence can show LifeMoves’s MTV shelter succeeds in reducing the homeless population, and improving the homeless's mental issues. 

• I request you provide 300+ questions the attendees entered in chats during the first hearing meeting, and your answers.
• I request you provide the date, time and location of the April meetings among  LifeMoves, city and county staff to discuss community feedback. and I request that info be shared to the public. and we all get notifications of the meetings.
• I request that the County also set up a zoom meeting for the in person meetings, so that people like me who need to take care of kids at home, can also participate. 
• I request you provide research/study on how an interim/emergency shelter impacts the neighborhood.
• I request you provide a solid plan for the steps to ensure the neighborhoods are safe and secure. and a detailed plan for funding and leading the effort? 
• I request plans on how you are making sure young kids and students are safe walking to schools. 
• I request a plan on how to solve the potential problems on parking and traffic given that 80-120 units will be introduced to an already overcrowded neighborhood. 
• I request you to plan to address the increased police funding and numbers needs, given the  tremendous increase in population.How will community's safety be endured? What's your plan and city's plan?
• How can you ensure homeless people can be well-behaved? Are there any regulations for the occupants in the shelter? If they break the regulation, what's the penalty? 

• What’s the weapon policy? How can you make sure they do not have weapon with them?

• Will the city increase its police force? 

• What's their move-in process look like? How many days can they stay? Will they be allowed to get out of the shelter? 

• Who will be sent to this shelter? Will it only for Santa Clara City's homeless, or homeless from anywhere can come and live here? 

• How will the maximum 240 homeless people be managed? By whom? Where does the funding come from?

该址处于Sunnnyvale/Santa Clara中心地带，周围紧邻大片居民区。周围1迈之内至少有10间中小学、18间家庭或机构托儿所、2个孩童玩耍的公园、1个游泳俱乐部。然而，项目负责小组自称自2021年6月起“进行了6次调研“，在听证会上被居民问”你们知道这个地点周围有多少学校吗？“的时候，竟然没有一个人知道（现场回答截屏如下）其调研质量及对居民切身利益和安全的关心程度，可见一斑！

更令人担忧的是，仅在700米之外，另一个流民收容所Bella Vista在去年悄悄地通过已经在建、即将开业！据2021年数据，Santa Clara市流民共769人，57%有严重的精神问题，90%有涉及毒品。想象一下这样的流民即将随时可能出现在你的家门口、公寓门前、公园里和孩子的学校周围，你还有什么理由不行动起来呢？！
