Submitted by Coalition of Concerned Residents of Monroe County on Tue, 2014-08-26 15:16

Open Letter to Monroe County Executive Maggie Brooks Regarding Rochester's Homeless Crisis

Dear County Executive Maggie Brooks,

 

Monroe County has a moral and, under Article 17 of the New York State Constitution, a legal obligation to care for all its residents especially our street homeless. We implore you to reverse the lock out of homeless persons from the Civic Center Garage until Monroe County puts into place a permanent plan to house all homeless.
