The Loudoun County Board of Supervisors, a School Board member, and other community leaders have approved County funds and resources to be expended to support a homeless shelter in Old Ashburn, managed by the Good Shepherd Alliance. They plan to re-route a County bus line to transport homeless, recently released prisoners, recovering drug addicts, mentally ill, and others into the heart of Old Ashburn. Old Ashburn, according to the County\'s own development plan, is supposed to retain the look and feel of a "village." Is a shelter for homeless an appropriate property usage in Old Ashburn Please let your voice be heard. Signing this petition sends a message to community leaders that you do NOT/NOT approve of bussing homeless people into a shelter in Old Ashburn. After you sign the petition, please join Citizens for Appropriate Development in Old Ashburn. Visit the group website to join: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/oldashburn

Typical government overreach. They dont care about us or our home values at all.

NOT in our backyards. We work hard to live here and they want to turn it into a dump. FIX THIS.

This is a terrible idea. My kids walk these streets every day after school and I dont want them exposed to that environment. Keep the village feel and stop ruining our neighborhood!

Keep them out. We dont have the resources for this and it makes zero sense to bus people in here from elsewhere.

Ridiculous. We moved to Ashburn for safety and the small town vibe. Why would they put this right in the middle of everything?
