"Do Not Disturb: Neighbors Oppose Plan to House Homeless in Empty Hotel"

[GreenPartyVoter]

"NIMBY alert! A plan to convert an empty, run-down hotel into a shelter for the homeless has some residents in Irvington, Indiana, an Indianapolis neighborhood, practicing their best "not in my backyard" arguments.

The location in question is the Indy East Motel, which was shut down two years ago after being plagued by crime. Its owners have offered to donate it to Good News Ministries, an organization that already runs one rescue mission. The resulting shelter could house 160 people. Tell the City Council to support the proposed shelter — and its homeless constituents."
