Tulsa to try to "eliminate" homelessness

If only there was a vacant building near other city services.  Somewhere around the YMCA, the courthouse, and the library.  Probably wouldnt hurt to be near a strong police presence either.  It doesnt really need to be a top notch building, even a run down building that isnt good enough for other government purposes would probably do.

Think, think...

Or better yet.  Lets find an area that has the most potential for development and put it there to make sure no area gets ahead of the others.

OR - drop it near an oil refinery.  If you want free room and board you may as well have a view.

I like where you are going with this, tell me more.

I heard a rumor that the city is going to have some downtown space to rent in the near future, maybe they could rent a floor out to a homeless mission.

I was wondering what neighborhoods they are thinking of putting the housing?

John 3:16 sent flyers to the Brady Heights asking them to consider a new homeless shelter in an apartment building that is for sale.  They will probably get to do whatever they want too - this could really hurt the efforts to revitalize a historic neighborhood.

Somewhere around 29th and Columbia I hope!

I had a good source tell me it is going in on the north-east corner of 11th and Utica, and that Councilor Barnes is none-too-pleased.
