Re: Homeless shelter at Lafayette Morehouse.
To whom it may concern: 12 July 1992
In recent months quite an issue has been made concerning the invitation to
the county's homeless extended by Lafayette Morehouse. This invitation
had been out for about three weeks before my mother and I were
approached by another resident of Skywest. This resident expressed
concern to us about the sanitation and possibility of overcrowding. It was
with these concerns in mind that my mother and I signed the petition for a
public hearing on the matter. Several days later, at a meeting of the
residents., I found out that action wasn't endorsed by the Homeowners
Association of Skywest. I also realized that the group was stricken by a
concern of plumeting property values and a "not in my neighborhood"
attitude. The former doesn't apply to my mother and I because we rent. As
for the later we have not been inconvenienced by the shelter in any way.
In conclusion, my mother and I both belive that a more constructive
approach to the matter could have been taken. With that, we request that
our names be taken off the petition and hereby cease and desist in our
actions against Lafayette Morehouse.
Sincerely,
James Slaughter
