By local/state government and the shelter housing industry and provider services increases transmission of infectious disease exponentially both inside and outside the homeless/low-income
communities they serve.
In some regions the cost of maintenance and delivery of water very low, next to nothing almost per resident per year. Access to shower and laundry and toilets are bottlenecked , inadequate
and monetized to the hilt, hygiene facilities break because of of lack of facilities in the first place, the small number provided are doomed to break down because of the heavy use
the government and contractors require of the small amount provided. This overcrowding of small numbers of facilities combined with broken facilities that are never repaired combined
with facilities agreed to in principle but in practice never provided contributes to a constant increase I infectious disease transmission.
The failure of agencies and contractors to recognize provide practices and implement what they already know to be true that access to water is a humane right that you all have no intention
of recognizing or practicing. If more money were provided it would not go to essential life needs because you all don't even prioritize that now for the most needy and vulnerable.
No one at behavioral health helps those who need assistance with hygiene. But you sure traffic their identity and information while they wear the same clothes for years on end and
never have access to help with hygiene for years on end. But you promise permanent supportive housing they never get or if they get it you help them lose it with bad case management.
If you want to decrease transmission of infectious disease in the larger community you need to prioritize the essential life needs as specified in the rcw codes. Water is free, homeless
and low income folks, consumers, voters taxpayers are tired of the massive fraud perpetuated by agencies contractors and subcontractors profits before people in the quote unquote Non-
profit industries that comprise the shelter housing and homeless provider industry.
