Conclusions 1
-
CL1The Grand Jury commends the City of Fort Bragg for designing and implementing a workable, friendly and vitally essential program. Because homelessness is endemic in Mendocino County, the Grand Jury is confident CRU will continue to inspire cooperation with other cities and programs in the County. While the homeless situation in Mendocino County is not yet dire, programs to address the issue before it becomes horrific are essential. It will be in the best interest of Mendocino County to develop and implement answers to prevent the expansion of homelessness. The Grand Jury believes CORE or other programs developed by the County should be designed to integrate well with the proven methods of CRU. In a well-crafted letter to Malvolio in Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night, Maria states: “Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them.” The Grand Jury hopes Mendocino County will achieve greatness by developing and implementing a program to alleviate homelessness, while remembering that the unhoused are human beings deserving care that is sensitive and adequate.
