Guest Eckington District Resident Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 I am very concerned about the plans for yet another transitional housing facility in Eckington. The 100 plus unit building located at the corner of 3rd and T Street has been sold to a non-profit organizaiton with plans to create a transitional housing facility for homeless and battered women. As homeowners with a family, we am extremely worried about what this means for the saftey, well being and value of our home. In a neighbordhood that has an over abundance of these types of facilities and an obivous lack of policing, are we left to fend for ourselves. Was this plan laid out in a public hearing that we failed to attend? We are clearly seeking answers. We moved to Eckington 3 years ago with the hopes of building a life for our family in a neighborhood that was still affordable and on the rise. Now we are considering moving. I would like to get feedback from other concerned residence of Eckington. Is Harry Thomas even listening? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
