Decentralized Homeless Shelter

Note: The meeting time is changed from the usual 6:15 to 5PM only for tomorrow (Tues. 06/20/23).

The selectboard knew the motel funding would end, but they planned nothing.

BCS has promoted emergency homeless shelters in RVs and campers since last summer. We’ve been saying to the selectboard basically, “We have started a decentralized homeless shelter. It’s a simple solution to the homeless crisis, but it doesn’t fit any current permitting process. Can you help? ”. They said nothing. In February they began prosecuting us. Now the news says they are proposing the same thing and calling it “dispersed camping”.

Really !?

First the board ignores the project. Then they slander and condemn it. Now they want to imitate it while they prosecute us for it. This malicious
bungling has to STOP !
