1. Turned off power to electric outlets in Wilson Park.
2. Set up a de facto no-panhandling zone near Court Street bars and eateries. (Violators are arrested.)
3. Removed benches near a homeless day center.
It would be nice if as much effort could be spent on finding mental health care for these individuals. Whose responsibility is it? We welcome readers' ideas on solving this problem.
If the City of Florence can find $20K+ for a mural, they surely can find the $$$ to contract with Riverbend to come up with a viable solution to its homeless situation. There are all kinds of $$$ available in the form of grants for just such a venture. All that is needed is for someone to do the 'leg work' to find said $$$, write up the grant and submit it. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
