For single individuals, the three primary causes of homelessness include substance abuse, lack of affordable housing, and mental illness.
In addition, homeless individuals frequently report health issues caused by the following:
38% Alcohol use problems
26% Drug use problems
39% Mental Health problems
(www.pbs.org)
The issues listed above pose possible threats to the East Lawrence children, families, schools, and businesses as the homeless individuals travel to and from the Downtown community.
We believe the relocation of the Lawrence Community Shelter to 2176 E 23rd Street, Lawrence, KS 66046 would be of detriment to the East Lawrence residences and businesses.
We, the undersigned, call on the City of Lawrence to vote against the relocation of the Lawrence Community Shelter to 2176 E 23rd Street, Lawrence, KS 66046.
