Description
This man is still camping near the bus stop at night, by day he occupies the bus stop enclosure.
It is raining today and we are heading into the cold rainy season.
Can a permanent housing solution be made to accommodate this man?

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.
This link is the Grand Jury Findings on Homelessness in Solano County, pretty depressing report.

a few excerpts:
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.
