I believe Camp Second Chance should stay where it is, on Myers Way Parcel. As a resident of Arrowhead Gardens, right in the neighborhood, I agree with many of Camp Second Chance neighbors in urging you to allow them to stay there.
Policies
and Ordinances can be changed. City of Seattle Ordinance 124747 can
and should be changed to let well run camps like Camp Second Chance
remain where they are. This camp creates a stable environment for it's
residents to get on with their lives and move out to become contributing
members of society once again.
People
can change and Camp Second Chance is in the business of changing
lives. In fact, they are doing such a good job of dealing with
homelessness that I hear people are coming from cities all over the
world to learn from them. Does that sound like the kind of place that
should be uprooted again?
If Camp Second Chance is moved, it will cost hundreds of thousands of dollars and will disrupt the lives of its residents. Let's do the right thing.

Please put this subject to rest for our kind , successful, hard working residents @ C2C. Indecision is unnecessay anxiety for them ..& us, their grateful neighbors. Thank you.
A model camp should not be moved but continue to thrive where they are. Only if they outgrow their space should they be moved.
While watching "Trickle Down Town" I learned that a questionnaire was supposedly sent out to nearby residents regarding our feelings about our neighbors C2C, and that this questionnaire was used to determine their future at their current site. None of my neighbors here at SHAG Arrowhead Gardens received such a questionnaire as far as I could determine. That was over 500 voices you did not hear the opinions of. Since we are their immediate neighbors, I think we have a right to be heard. I for one consider C2C a good neighbor and think it's a waste of money and resources to force them to move. Leave the camp alone. Let them stay where they are. They are a positive influence on our neighborhood. These people have so little already, and it's the failure of you, our government, that the working poor are forced to live in homeless camps as it is. Stop harassing them further.

We at Arrowhead Gardens are the closest Seattle neighbors to Camp Second Chance. We are closer than other Highland Park resident. We believe we have a better perspective than those who are miles away from the action.
