Has been buying up old motels and refitting them into nice studio apartments for unhoused people. We had a devastating fire two years ago and many people have been living in FEMA trailers. Those trailers will be removed soon. These apartments are really wonderful. We also have a motel in my city that is specifically designed for chronic homeless folks that also provides services along with housing.

Homelessness is such a complex issue. It's important and challenging to address all of the different parts.
