March in Fresno Supports the Homeless
A march in support of the homeless took place in downtown Fresno on Saturday, October 18. Organizers of the group asked why the City of Fresno has not done more to help the homeless. They cited $3 million designated for homeless housing in 2008 that was in the budget but never used. Why, they asked, is the city paying $13,000 a month for 3 portable toilets and a trash bin at the H street encampment and nothing to provide them with decent affordable housing? The photo below shows some of the marchers, the northern part of the H street encampment, and the Fresno skyline in the background.
