[El Dorado County Democratic Central Committee]
“Overall, the idea is to have facilities in several places in this county for the homeless, not just Pollock Pines. Eventually in every district of the County, Placerville, Cameron Park, and other communities, too. This is just a start. But, we need to start.
“On January 4th, BOS meeting, Sue Novasel is bringing forward a resolution to halt the efforts on pursuing the Pollock Pines Best Western Hotel currently used for Project Roomkey to transition to Project Homekey.
“Some Pollock Pines critics say Best Western is the only hotel.
“The neighbor complaints of crime and misbehavior are overblown.
“… trying to make use of the Project Homekey funds.
“Sue Novasel thinks project Homekey should be housed in a more run down facility that is then fixed up. She sites what SLT Homekey has done with fixer-upper hotels
“… this facility is too far from services needed by the homeless.

First the state – then our County… inevitable, I guess
THAT is a defeatist attitude! We need to voice our concerns and keep our county a safe happy RURAL community. EDH have alot of hotels and condos..and a golf course that is just sitting..growing weeds. Build a homeless housing project there ..easy on and easy off the freeway.
