Allan Parsons
Hi Folks:
I had technical issues w/ making public comment on today’s meeting. I was in the queue for public comment by 10:10am, and my call dropped at least once between 10:10a and 10:30a. I’d like to make public comment:
My name is Allan Parsons and I’m an 8 year west side resident, and I am providing public comment for item 11. I live near the Venice Bridge home facility at 100 Sunset. The Sunset facility houses 54 beds for transitional aged youth aged 18 to 24 years old. For clarification, and given the age group, these are not children, these are young adults.
SPY operates 54 of 154 beds in A Bridge Home (in Venice). Police statistics show that LAPD has responded to the Venice Home 114 times since it opened, of which 8 were classified violent, 2 property crimes, and 15 part II crimes. SPY claims to have mental health experts on staff and social workers to help mitigate dangerous and violent situations. That is ostensibly not working since the LAPD has visited this one address 114 times in 6 months. SPY should not be allowed to be a service provider for this facility given the burden it puts on the LAPD and the risk to public safety for the surrounding residents.
