Local residents have expressed strong opposition to the shelter, citing increased crime and disturbances in their neighborhoods, particularly from new arrivals to the encampment.
Councilwoman Joann Ariola stated that the community has been vocal against the shelter and criticized the ongoing investment into the project as a misuse of taxpayer funds.
