Descrição
New addition (solid mattress and a bbq) added to the ongoing homeless issues at Tennessee & Tuolumne. There are now 2 competing squatters moving back & forth between the bus stops on Tuolumne (Wells Fargo), and both the Tuolumne stop or Tennessee stop (West America Bank).
I month or so ago I called CSS and was told at least one homeless person was assessed by the county as mentally fit. I have been collecting video that may disprove that. Happy to submit if helpful.
This is a shame ANYWHERE in our city, but it is particularly a disgrace here for attracting businesses. This street is a main artery to Mare Island and should be full of clean thriving businesses where people shop before and after work, not homeless encampments (ie the movie folk eat in Benicia!)
I shall be reporting here often until there is a permanent resolution. I’d suggest you look into the recently reorganized County Dept for Aging.
Thank you for attending to this matter.

Encampment repotted has now added “safety cones” making the sidewalk inaccessible.
This encampment is about 2 weeks old, and the person is also pan handling with a sign.
For your added viewing pleasure, this is today’s photo of the gentleman who has been here for MONTHS (the one I’ve been collecting video of).
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Winter is coming and this man needs to be in a shelter or hospital.

He evidently does not meet the criteria for housing, Christina has tried (and is still tying). The homeless shelter in Fairfield is was closed due to funding being cut, we have nothing in Vallejo other than churches. Vallejo's potential homeless shelter is a long way off. They have to demolish the existing building first and a lot more funding is needed.
2017/18 Grand Jury Findings on Homelessness in Solano County, pretty depressing report, excerpts below.
1. No significant changes in the number of permanent, emergency, and transitional beds have been made available since the 2008.
2.There is no County operated permanent homeless shelter or drop-in center in Solano County.
3. There are no publicly funded residential drug and alcohol treatment centers in Solano County operated by the County.
4. There are no County operated and funded board and care homes for elderly, physically impaired or patients with mental health issues in Solano County.
All cities in Solano County need to understand the real cost of homelessness and how it impacts
services, safety, loss of retail revenue, damage to the infrastructure in their cities, etc.
