Homeless shelter forum creates tense reactions

Residents concerned about safety

More than 50 people gathered to discuss the possible homeless shelter relocation Monday night, some growing rowdy because of a format they found insufficient for providing information about the controversial move.

The meeting was the second of three conversations hosted by the Inter-Faith Council for Social Service about the suggested move of the Community House homeless shelter to a Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard site.

Some neighbors of the proposed site location worry about the effect a nearby homeless shelter would have on their families’ safety.
