Oceanside gets even more serious about street people
Since I live very close to Oceanside Blvd and have seen too much of what is going on, I have a question. Where were all of these other charities when Covid-19 hit and the homeless were at high risk? Where was the City of Oceanside? As I recall, Oceanside poilce department was herding the homeless around from one side of Oceanside Blvd to the other. They couldn't even provide a shelter for patients just getting out of the hospital after surgery. Those poor souls were left in their walkers on the street. The Bread of LIfe Shelter was closed, as was Brother Bennos. Say what you want against Vanessa and OHR, but she was the first one I saw out on the street bringing food and sleeping bags to the homeless. The City, charities and churches weren't stepping up to the plate back then. It was only Interfaith and Vanessa taking any action. Now that the funding is rolling in, they are popping out from under the rocks like roaches. It's interestng that Megan Crooks who supposedly made the decision is gone now. My guess is the City feels threatened by OHR because it is grass roots and so far outperforming the City hotel voucher plan 10 to 1 in arriving at permanent solutions.— June 23, 2021 6:56 p.m.
Cavalier Mobile Home owners vs. the rest of the neighborhood
The link for the fundraiser doesn't go to Mike's page. Please change that if possible. His Cavalier neighbors are very concerned about him because he's still on a ventilator and in critical condition. https://www.facebook.com/donate/664788354173009/1…— October 19, 2020 6:59 p.m.
Alpha Project, Bread of Life, Solutions for Change – incomparable?
While the charities are fighting, does anyone know where to find how Oceanside is spending our $18 million HEAP grant dollars?— August 15, 2019 12:05 p.m.
How to deal with Oceanside homeless
Stick with us on Take Back Oceanside, Ken Leighton. Besides the photos of current conditions in our fine city, we are making progress in actions. We've found housing for the homeless, united families with their homeless loved ones, and have a place picked out for a low barrier homeless facility on Oceanside Blvd. Several individuals and groups are volunteering their time to clean up our streets. Plus there are always interesting discussions on programs that work. It's nice to get input from service providers and the homeless people themselves on different ideas.— June 14, 2019 1:36 p.m.
Plot thickens for Oceanside's "prison hotel"
Jerry Kern has already registered a campaign for Oceanside mayor in 2020. He'll just roll over the $220,000 he's collected for that. It's really a shame that Oceanside citizens have to file a lawsuit against our own city to be heard.— June 8, 2018 9:36 p.m.
