1.-Q. ID 22-850 Approve the First Amendment to the property management agreement with Turning Point of Central California, Inc., for The Valley Inn, a 107-room motel located at 933 N. Parkway Drive (APN 449-335-32), to provide temporary shelter and prevent COVID-19 among individuals experiencing homelessness in the City of Fresno to extend the term of the agreement for one year until June 24, 2023, and add additional insurance requirements to the agreement as Exhibit E
As of now the motels that we bought to actually help the homeless are not helping them at all hence they are being kicked out for acting as if they are still homeless. We should be providing in house social services, intense case management, drug/mental health treatment as needed. We will NEVER cure homelessness until we address root causes. We can not keep blaming the county and we need to start throwing money into mental health/drug treatment.
