Mayor Greg Fischer visited the Mission about 6:15 tonight (2/3) to see how things were going on one of the most life-threatening nights of the new year. The Mayor took a tour of the Rescue Station (low barrier shelter), the family and women's floor, and the Operation White Flag sleeping areas. He talked with a number of our residents and guests asking how they were doing and showing his support for them during this difficult night.
Before leaving he told our staff that they were doing a great job and to keep up the good work; adding we are proud to have you here.
Comment - It is nice to see a public servant who will take the time to check on some of the most disenfranchised people in the city. Keep up the good work!
This is a positive sign of That's Not My Neighbor public responsibility, but such visits must be followed by sustainable policies and resources, not just symbolic gestures.
