Saturday, December 30, 2006 7 comments links to this post HUNGER & HOMELESSNESS SURVEY 2006 Below I have pasted a small part of the 2006 Survey of HUNGER & HOMELESSNESS. Please click onto the title of this post for the complete report. I have also put a permenant link to the survey under my profile to the right of the screen. HOMELESSNESS During the past year, requests for emergency shelter increased in the survey cities by an average of 9 percent, with 68 percent of the cities registering an increase. Requests for shelter by homeless families alone increased by 5 percent, with 59 percent of the cities reporting an increase. An average of 23 percent of the requests for emergency shelter by homeless people overall and 29 percent of the requests by homeless families alone are estimated to have gone unmet during the last year. In 86 percent of the cities, emergency shelters may have to turn away homeless families due to lack of resources; in 77 percent they may also have to turn away other homeless people. People remain homeless an average of eight months in the survey cities. Thirty-two percent of the cities said that the length of time people were homeless increased during the last year. In 55 percent of the cities, families may have to break up in order to be sheltered. In 54 percent of the cities families may have to spend their daytime hours outside of the shelter they use at night. Mental illness and the lack of needed services lead the list of causes of homelessness identified by city officials. Other causes cited, in order of frequency, include lack of affordable housing, substance abuse and the lack of needed services, low-paying jobs, domestic violence, prisoner reentry, unemployment, and poverty. Officials estimate that, on average, single men comprise 51 percent of the homeless population,families with children 30 percent, single women 17 percent, and unaccompanied youth 2 percent. The homeless population is estimated to be 42 percent African-American, 39 percent white, 13 percent Hispanic, 4 percent Native-American and 2 percent Asian. An average of 16 percent of homeless people is considered mentally ill; 26 percent are substance abusers. Thirteen percent are employed; nine percent are veterans. The average percentage of homeless families headed by single parents in the survey cities is 71 percent; and, on average, children represent 24 percent of the entire population in emergency shelters in the cities. Eighty-seven percent of the survey cities say that there was an increase in homeless children in the emergency shelter system.

YEAR END STORY'S Please click onto the title of this post if you would like to post a comment to a large media venue. :) Thursday, December 28, 2006 Councilman Helgens Redevelopment Agenda Hi All, I have conferred with Councilman Helgen and he was not able to comment on Divas lounge. Apparently there is adverse actions being taken. This being in court and all I am assuming he is bound by legalities from making a statement concerning this issue. However, he was so kind as to share with me his redevelopment agenda. His comments are below. Thank You for the input Councilman Helgen. Councilman Lee Helgen- Regarding my redevelopment agenda. I have been focused on revitalizing the Rice Street Corridor to help foster reinvestment and attract new businesses. I am also working to address the condition of the housing stock. Currently, the city has over 800 vacant houses, many of which are in very poor condition. I have pressed for much more active role from the city in getting these houses rehabilitated and getting blighted properties removed. While I respect property rights, I do believe that property owners have an obligation to maintain their property and do their part to keep the city a desirable place for people to live. I think the changes moving through the process to create a fire certificate of occupancy for rental properties will help provide a more structured and regular process for code enforcement. In the end, if our city is to remain an desirable place to do business, live and raise a family we must encourage redevelopment along our aging commercial corridors, and we must improve the overall quality of the housing stock. For this to be success we must do more to help our residents get connected to good paying jobs and create a sense of optimism for the future. I hope this helps. Lee Helgen More On Copper Thefts From Vacant Buildings. Please click onto the title of this post for more information on the copper thefts from vacant buildings. Wednesday, December 27, 2006 Vacant Buildings Copper Stolen Reprinted here from Saint Paul Issues And Forums Posted Dec 27, 2006 12:28 pm by Tim Erickson The following announcement came from the St. Paul Virtual Block Club, an email list managed by Sergeant Dan Anderson of the St. Paul Police Department. See below for further information, including information on how to subscribe. Tim Erickson Hamline Midway - + - + - + - + - + - FIRE HAZARD ALERT This alert is being sent to all owners and neighbors of vacant buildings presently registered with the City of Saint Paul. In recent weeks, there have been a rash of break-ins into vacant buildings where the gas lines are stolen for the copper. In several cases the gas was turned on resulting in huge and very serious gas leaks. It wasn’t until neighbors began to smell the gas that the fire department was called. These significant gas leaks can easily be ignited into a devastating explosion that can not only destroy the vacant house, but also damage neighboring property as well. We urge you to immediately do the following: 1. Make sure vacant buildings are completely secure. Check them regularly and often. 2. Vacant building owners can call Xcel Energy at 651-442-4975 to turn off the gas if you do not need it. If you turn off the gas be sure to drain the water to the house to avoid freezing and broken pipes. 3. If a vacant building has been vandalized, notify the Saint Paul Police by calling 9-1-1. 4. Neighbors should report any suspicious activity at vacant buildings to the Saint Paul Police by calling 9-1-1. Your cooperation in this important matter of public safety is essential, and appreciated. Thank you.

By Emily Kaiser, Star Tribune Suited-up lawyers, a robed judge and 33 jury members replaced drums, keyboards and music stands in Minneapolis Roosevelt High School's band room. It was mock trial time. Student lawyers took turns presenting evidence for a case about an underage drunken driver who seriously injured his friend after his father had provided alcohol. They had one hour to convince the jury that the parents were negligent. Please click onto the title of this post for the rest of the story.

Magner, Cassidy, Essling, Schiller, Yannarelly, Senty, Singerhouse, Booker, Urmann and John Doe and Jane Doe, worked together with Kelly and Dawkins against each plaintiff to run them out of town by illegally using legitimate tools in the law and city code to interfere with the Plaintiffs’ business by driving up the cost of doing business for the benefit of the city and other competitors in the low income housing market, including PHA, whom on information and belief, receives beneficial treatment. 170. As a direct result of the constant discrimination and illegal code enforcement treatment and racketeering activity directed at Plaintiffs by said Defendants, all at the direction or with the approval of Dawkins and Kelly, Plaintiffs were injured in their rental business and incurred unnecessary expenses, fees and lost profits and Gallagher, Collins and Dadder’s were thereafter forced to sell more than 20 of their real estate investment properties in the City. Other impacted rental property owners were forced to sell properties as well. 171. The illegal actions against Plaintiffs as described above were accomplished to further the 37 Case 0:05-cv-01348-JNE-SRN Document 17 Filed 12/21/2005 Page 37 of 77 racketeering activity of Defendants.
