We oppose the placement at 2507 S. Beavercreek Rd. Oregon  City, Oregon 97045 of Central City Concerns proposed a 40 unit housing facility for drug and alcohol rehabilitants and homeless housing recovery  for the following reasons:

This facility will have a negative impact on the local communities of Oregon City. It would decrease local property values as well as potentially cause harm to the businesses that are in the local vicinity. This housing unit would bring 40+ new tenants and their families to the Oregon City community from correctional facilities, rehabilitation centers, mental health facilities or straight off the street; by either court order or voluntarily. These tenants would be housed without CCC performing background checks or provisions to ensure the safety of the surrounding residents. Furthermore, Central City Concern has stated they will not be liable or responsible for these tenants or their actions when they are not in their housing units.

We do support the rehabilitation of those who seek recovery, but we are insistent on providing a safe and healthy environment for both the residents of the community as well as individuals seeking aid as tenants of CCC’s housing. We do not feel the location proposed offers those things.

I have been hearing from so many of you who are worried about the lack of accountability at the proposed site. The silence from Central City Concern is frustrating but it only motivates me further to keep pushing for the safety of our neighborhood.

Seeing this kind of momentum confirms that I am not alone in my deep concern for the safety of our neighborhood streets. It is clear that our community refuses to remain silent while our security is treated as an afterthought.

Keep this out of our neighborhood. We have kids playing outside every single day and I dont feel safe with this going in down the street.

Are you kidding me? No background checks? Who thought this was a good idea in a residential area. Totally unacceptable.

NOT IN OUR BACKYARD. Find somewhere else for this stuff. Oregon city is already getting too crowded as it is.

This will just bring more crime to the area. Why keep pushing these facilities into quiet parts of town?
