From the article in today's Strib (12/24/03)about Hennepin County literally
exporting persons experiencing homelessness:
"...Mayor John Hickenlooper called the policy
'unacceptable'...Hickenlooper, who took office in January, is particularly concerned
about the city's
homeless population and recently appointed a Commission on Homelessness with a
goal of eliminating homelessness in Denver within a decade."
In the same article a spokeswoman for the Denver Human Services
commented .."We feel the homeless are part of our community. We want to find them a
home and provide for them until they're on their feet. Arranging to send them
out of the city would not be part of our approach."
