Please sign this petition to let our representatives know that you do not approve of a large 50 bed facility in the North Beach neighborhood. The area selected is within close proximity to several residential neighborhoods, Bonita Canyon Park and more importantly, the Boys and Girls Club which serves as a safe haven for our community's children.

A facility of this size will serve as a beacon for homeless throughout Southern CA and will add pressure to the current infrastructure that serves those in need.

Ask your representatives to "lessen the impact" and choose smaller facilities for this state mandated bill.

The city will vote on this agenda item on July 15th. Please sign this petition today.
