This is groundbreaking care of the homeless in Akron. I hope you will let it continue as a test study at least, to verify the effectivess of stepwise reintegration of the homeless into society. Perhaps getting a grant to study? Please consider this option. Thank you.
Second Chance village is an amazing place doing life saving work. As Pastor of Harmony Springs Christian Church I support this work.
The village needs nothing more from the city than for it to just let it be and drop the resistance. There will always be tent cities. Typically they grow no bigger than six if you displace these people there will be 7 or more separate camps with splintered and questionable leadership. Please reconsider ending a beautiful project.
The residence of Second Chance Village have no where to go if the tent city is closed down. Other cities are helping the homeless by building tiny home communities for the homeless. Has the city of Akron looked into something along these lines. I have met the people of Second Chance Village. These are good, resourceful people who need a hand up. Anyone could be in this situation at anytime.
I am the director of the Community Volunteer Group in Akron for the past 5 years, and fully support this organization. I have watched members of this group, over the years, go from living in tents in the woods, to having a community with accountability, rules/regulations, and value not only to themselves, but also to this community. This is an asset to Akron.
They also feed many hungry families.

The second chance community, while housed in tents, is better maintained than many homes in Akron - but more importantly, it nurtures its residents by providing safety, and opportunities daily to be good citizens who are treated with dignity and respect.
