    This is a step in the right direction to help those experiencing homelessness who have resorted to illegal activity to survive. I think it give them an opportunity to get the services and support they need.

    This is a very cost effective intervention compared to the multiple interventions needed when people experience sheltered or unsheltered homelessness. This is a small piece to help mitigate the inflow into the homeless response system.

    After listening to the Judge, City Prosecutor and Public Defender, I am supporting the establishment of this court to address the needs of the homeless individuals facing prosecution for crimes. This is a much needed program to assisted those who need a structured program to re-establish themselves as productive citizens and be accountable as they strive for this goal. The cost is small compared with arresting, prosecuting and re-arresting without success. The safety of everyone is at stake.
