Yesterday on the 10th of February 2025 I went to Jefferson County Commissioner meeting to talk about how the Commissars, the health department, believe in recovery, behavioral health,
gateway to freedom, the city of Port Townsend, emergency services, Olycap, Bayside, interfaith coalition all knowing and talking since October of 2024 that this year was going to be
colder than average. When it came time to protect homeless folks outside, the tents provided were cosmetic at best, tiny tents you would put your child in having a backyard campout
at the height of summer season during the highest lows of the year. These are free tents that companies give away at trade shows that provide no protection from the cold, so tiny you
can't fit a cot and a person in them, like giving someone a tank top to wear outside during the worst storm of the year. Because they are crawl in tent where you can only lay on the
frozen ground they actually increase exposure and hypothermia.
At the 209 a Monroe st shelter there's no paper towels for bathroom or kitchen, people are sick with COVID, RSV, Whooping Cough, they are elderly and experience shortness of breath.
In the women's bathroom the left hand toilet stall is not functioning, they did have tape over it, someone removed it, occupants are using non functional toilet, what will you do when
the other one breaks down?
When Greg Brotherton and Heather Dudley -Nollette Jefferson County Commissioners say lack of funding every one really knows they mean misappropriation, embezzlement, skimming, negligence,
indifference, not just lack of funding from state but improper diversion of funds, misused of funds.
Five days a week 2 city workers drive to the Evans Vista camp, sit in their car/ truck while it runs for two hours every morning. They do nothing and it costs taxpayers 40,000 dollars
a year ,surely you could use that money to prevent hypothermia, fix toilets, buy paper towels for bathroom and kitchen.
You could stop using contractors that have a history of fraud with the government, non- delivery of services.
You could also fill the empty permanent supportive housing units that have been empty for months while aging folks with mental health and physical disability are outside suffering from
exposure, due to government negligence.
