The Herald News has published a follow up article on the homeless crisis in the City of Passaic. The second article focuses on the need for a shelter. The solution to Forys’ homelessness in permanent housing not a shelter. A shelter would not be the solution as Mary “Forys prefers Main Avenue to a shelter, which she considers too dangerous.” The editorial correctly holds Passaic to “the moral responsibility of working with community activists to provide safe shelter for people with no place to go.” We agree but again the solution is permanent, affordable and supportive housing!
We provide an excerpt to the editorial. To read the latest full article click here.
