Seattle Tells Church Group To Stop Feeding Homeless​

“It was a service we were offering free of charge to be a blessing to the homeless,” said Executive Director Willie Parish, Jr. “All we were doing was just a continuation of what we do on a daily basis.”

In December, however, Parish said Seattle police told them they were no longer allowed to serve food at the park.

City officials say the restriction is nothing new, and that Bread of Life simply operated in the park for three years without being caught or reported.

They might say they have tp stop feeding the homeless. Really, it's just that they have to stop feeding the homeless in the park. It's like feeding pigeons. Once hundreds of homeless mentally ill drug addicts take over a park it's a no man's land. Children can't play in the playground. No one can do so much as take the dog for a walk. It takes on the garbage strewn, feces filled feel of an ows camp.

many towns go after Food Not Bombs. one way around it is to lay out food but do not actually serve it.

Seattle church to throw homeless out onna street so dey can pave paradise an' put up a parking lot...

Seattle church to demolish homeless shelter, build new parking lot
Nov. 26, 2017 -- A Seattle church is planning to demolish homeless shelters on its property to make space for a bigger parking lot, leading to complaints from local activists.

The University Unitarian Church in northeast Seattle is spending $17 million to renovate its property, the Seattle Times reported. But it would cost an extra $1 million to bring the several small cottages for formerly homeless people on its property up to date under building code laws, so church leaders decided to demolish the homes and instead put in 17 extra parking spaces. Ten people currently live in the housing. They will have one year to vacate the premises. Rev. Jon Luopa, pastor of the UUC, said the church plans to expand and its members come from long distances and more parking is essential. Luopa also said his congregation is more inclined to do advocate for homeless people than engage in direct action. "It's important to know what you can do, and what you can't do, and where government needs to step up," he said.

In a Facebook post, Luopa said that his congregation has worked on housing issues for more than 40 years and the decision to remove the houses was a "painful one." "Understanding the implications of this decision, we gave the agency that leases the houses and places residents in them fourteen months' notice," he wrote. "We told the agency we would not proceed with our building project until we were assured that all of the residents had been securely housed. The agency informed us that all of the residents will be moved next year to properties they operate. None of the current residents will become homeless."

The University Unitarian Church in Seattle announced this month it will replace housing for previously homeless people with 17 new parking spaces.​

The plan to demolish housing for formerly homeless people comes at a time when Seattle is experiencing a vast shortage of affordable housing and has one of the highest income inequality rates in the country. Doug Crandall, CEO of Community Psychiatric Clinic, which manages cases for the 10 residents and will help find new housing for the 10 residents, told the Seattle Times it's getting more difficult to help people in need of housing. "We have enough housing, and we have enough turnover in our housing to house these 10 individuals -- but yes, this is a struggle," Crandall said. "Our clients are needing to move further away from Seattle."

The Seattle Displacement Coalition said the demolition of existing housing structures to build parking spaces might not be legal under Seattle law and have filed a complaint with the city. "Recently the City Council watered down this legislation allowing developers to abandon rental homes and then later demolish them, but the prohibition on demolition for a parking lots remains," the group said in a blog post. "The actions by University Unitarian in this case seem totally out of character for a church that prides itself on its long history of social activism and advocacy," they added.
