I must submit this matter under anonymity because .of the threat of retaliation and eviction. To be homeless is unfortunate enough in itself. However, the housing conditions at the homeless shelter located at 2047 Arnold Industrial Way in Concord make the homeless situation even more unbearable. Until Board members actually physically inspect it for themselves, a description of the living conditions there cannot convey the same impression as seeing it firsthand. First of all, there is no facility maintenance. Over half of the fluorescent lights are out leaving the facility very dim and dangerous. The bathroom exhaust fans do not work so the bathrooms are a steambath of incredible odor and cigarette smoke. Bathroom plumbing fixtures either do not work at all, or are coming out of the countertops. Filthy cannot not describe the appalling lack of basic cleanliness. Anyone who looks even causually around can see filthy walls and floors which have not been swept, mopped or Washed in months. The place is so filthy, that rats (not mice, for there is difference)can been seen scurrying across the floors. The .mansard roof is missing roof tiles and, of course, the roof leaks everywhere. My question to the Board is: how much worse does the facility have to deteriorate before something is finally done? Thank you for your discussion, concerns and. immediate action. � 1 ralph-hoffmann@webt To: ralph-hoffmann@webtv.net(Ralph Hoffmann), v.net(Ralph Hoffmann) comments@ cob.cccounty.us,fglov@bos.cccounty.us(Dist.
