I am not up to date on this. The date of the County Board meeting in spring 2013 is not printed for research purposes it is now 4:56AM 03/29/2013. The only way to perceive the 2020 14th St Arlington VA. Service Project is by backup means. What occur`ed? How is such a Service Project conceivable amid neighboring Federal Decision Judiciary? It is noted here: http://www.arlnow.com/2013/03/08/board-approves-homeless-shelter-despite-neighbor-concerns/ the neighboring Woodbury Heights Condominium Association Community amid requesting a 24/7 – [24 hours 7 days a week] security guard, and a prohibition on housing homeless individuals with history of violent crimes and sex offenses [in which is a inevitable way to mediating`ly handle the credit bracket of forwarding the project in/amid the business presence of inevitable-based document`ed/collect`ed structure`ed investment`s] -in what appears to be recession on a house move] encounter`ed a nix. To expense that community to endangerment`s and cost in which is inevitable do to the inviting inflation metric`s is a violent intellectual property crime. Also note the 2020 14th St. N., Arlington, Virginia 22201 Service Project closed in on the 2013 United States Sequestration.

So it’s just a formality, then….and purely for show?

What’s the point, why waste everyone’s time?

So they can ignore the community of tax payers and voters and pat themselves on the back.

Your reporting is NOT correct either.

“The Emergency Winter Shelter (EWS) in Arlington is a hypothermia shelter that is open from November 1 through March 31 every year.”

“The EWS is open from 4 PM to 9 AM. On days when the temperature remains below freezing, the shelter stays open throughout the day.”

Maybe I’m missing something, but given all of the meetings and already-scheduled “workshops” (Dec 5th…Dec 17th…Jan 14th…etc) — is the Board really being asked to approve this? It just sounds like it’s a foregone conclusion that it’s already been approved. So what is the meeting / request for?

Interesting – this paper argues that veterans are more likely to commit crimes.

Time for a veteran roundup!

Opposing a county shelter for the homeless and then claiming the county wants to keep people homeless is pathetic.

I suppose that’s about where a zero-sum mind-set would land, yes.

Basically yes,

They will do better with some sort of structure (physical and pyschological).

Who knows, there could be some programs, counseling, medical care.

The food handouts on the street seem about as helpful as putting kibble out at dumps for stray cats.

It’s woefully inadequate,

Is A-SPAN a “last resort” shelter like this one will be, open to those with drug and alcohol problems?
