This legislation is an investment towards the people that have been systematically abused and neglected by church-backed non-profit shelter providers who have been operating for some 10 to 15 years without any standards, models or guides.

Our City Agencies have known about it and failed to prevent harm to the 'homeless people' that they said they were trying to help.

We have a chance to 'do right' by our residents to make dignity and respect and basic health and hygiene conditions, the law with enforcement because these providers and the City have FAILED us, for the past 15 years.

To get away from being homeless, you need to have a safe place that is sanitary and NOT abusive to get your mind and body together.

You also need basics like telephone and laundry access so you can stay in touch with family, friends, medical, work and progam contacts and 'be clean' to prevent catching or spreading of diseases.

Its time to either 'truly help and protect' our homeless or let's be honest and have the haters admit, they do not really care.

We have more homeless on the way thanks to the affects of the Bush regime, so we all need to 'do right' and stop the lying, cheating, stealing and abuse of our fellow San Franciscans.
