City of Fresno evict the Homeless tent city group again.. on the day of a Homeless Forum
Where are the politicians? I wonder if Federal Officials would like to know how Fresno city officials are helping the homeless.
* there are 100's of empty houses and buildings in Fresno.

" The city and county have $4.7 million dollars dedicated to homeless prevention. Thursday, the City Housing Authority received signatures from nearly 120 people interested in permanent housing. However in two months, only twelve people have been placed in housing."


the report from local corporate news channel 30.

FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- A vacant lot that was filled with about 30 homeless people is clear Thursday night, after the city forced them to move off the private property.
A U-Haul truck pulled up to the corner of Venture and F Street several hours after homeless people were forced to leave the property. Many loaded up with their belongings, only to be dropped off at "G" and Railroad Avenue. They made their way inside of a locked gate for what could be the next encampment area.
City officials say they are looking for a long term solution the homeless issue, but some in the homeless community say it's difficult to get housing because they are required to provide documents like a birth certificate, California I.D., and Social Security cards first.

Why are Federal and State officials letting the City of Fresno abuse their power and miss use funds to help the Homeless ?

Report on Wednesday, when the City threatened the Homeless.. and also the corruption of those who hold the purse strings and abuse the money that is suppose to help the Homeless

The City of Fresno is on the attack again. They are willing to spend endless amounts of money to chase the homeless from one vacant lot to another. Why won’t they use some of their resources to provide a safe and legal campground where the homeless can live?
