Salisbury Mayor Jake Day Shuts Down Tent City On Lake Street

As most of you know, yesterday’s storm destroyed the tents at Camp HOPE. We placed our guests indoors overnight so they didn’t have to be out in the weather.

Due to the collaborations and partnerships developed within our Continuum Of Care, the Somerset County Heath Dept. and Seton Center have graciously offered to place our guests into temporary hotel rooms and will offer more permanent housing options through rapid rehousing and other resources.

We will NO LONGER need volunteers. We appreciate those who have already volunteered and those who have signed up for dates to come.

We will still need meals. We are looking for breakfast items like juice, granola bars, pop tarts and fruit. No hot breakfasts going forward. We will still be looking for hot lunches and dinner. We are no longer at Lake Street. Please call or text me at 443-397-2149 if you have volunteered a meal to get the location.

Please sign up on our meal train for meal donations. All meals must be individually packed or wrapped. No buffet style please.

Lots of “section 8”housing is almost ready for new occupants. Just look around at all the construction.

Good intentions I assume but anyone who has spent even one night camping in the rain knows it sucks.

So once again like we stated Jake Boy did not think things through. So what about the money etc put into this tent city are we the people going to pay for it like all the other pie in the sky dreams? Once again your head and those that support you have your heads at your backside. How many of you that voted him in for a second term still believe he knows what he is doing? Shut him down now, and get a real mayor in like Wayne King if he would still even be interested. It is time to end the dog and pony show. And those supporters who will cry it was the weather no one can predict these things no they can't put they could wrap their brains around things that are priorities. You will find chasing windmills just costs $ you don't have and we don't want to pay for.

Maybe you can't predict the weather but anyone from the shore should know it rains a lot this time of year. A tent city may work in CA where it is dry most of the time but it's a terrible idea for this region.

Doesn't Jake have Xtra room since his wifey will be going to prison soon ?

Why reinvent the wheel, Halo and Christian shelter do this every day. Maybe Salisbury should contact them to get direction to see how it works.

Dumb idea....The homeless must be removed from the street and placed in care facilities

How much did all that cost us?

Someone with a hotel must be getting a fat government check

Anonymous said...

@11:27 not only are they going to be getting fat "guvment" checks but also free money for renovations, I mean the usual Andy Harris handouts to progressive liberals bullshit. Day got his end result free housing for the homeless.

Our guest. I love how they sugarcoat homeless bums with criminal records. Typical Libtard response.

That is what Jake Day, Mike Dumb and John Cannon are forcing on the taxpaying citizens of Salisbury and Wicomico County. Don't fall for this Bull$hit.

I'm confused? Why are they shutting this down? Did they not anchor the tents down? Did the tents blow away? Did the new tents leak? What was the real reason the shut this abortion down??

Why is it a terrible idea for our region? Tents are water proof.

So now you are placing homeless or street people in hotels with citizens (taxpayers) providing free meals - WTH is wrong with you people. People who want to work can't because you stupid Governor won't let them and all you can worry about are illegal people 9in the streets during storm. What about the kids of the unemployed who are now so confused on what next - no sports - no school - no food in most cases and you are worried about the street people. Tell Day and Hogan to get off their asses and open up Maryland.

I keep hearing all these programs protecting "Renters." WTH!! What about us, the taxpaying homeowners who have mortgages to pay and taxes to pay. We pay the damn taxes to give the renters free rent payments. WTH is wrong with that picture??

I knew this was coming. Giving them a tent was just a precursor to "free" housing. Oh look...now all these homeless people are residing in Somerset County. Liberal governments SUCKS!

It's hard to fight the "good ole boys" in Salisbury. People who voted for Day have an agenda that only Day can help with. Many of you who post on this blog would be better than Day. Go for it Joe.

WTH is the chain of thought here? Bring all these Welfare Cases to Somerset Co.? Where the Hell are the Somerset Co. Commissioners being silent when we had 12 cases and now the statistics show thirty-some. I hope every one of those stupid bastards get beat the next time around. Like its not bad enough here now, they must allow others not even in this County to send more trouble here. What a bunch of empty heads running the show. People, When you go to vote this time go to vote against and maybe someone with some damn sense will assume these offices.

They should have sent them to the elks club or the civic center after they were trucked to the shorebirds and tested.
The source for most Covid in Wicomico is nasty Haitians in chicken plants and nasty female Haitians working in nursing homes.
Last year I saw John Cannon and Randy Day both bandstand for these illegals saying they are a big part of our community and need to be accounted for. Hell, John Cannon even stood on stage at a Haitian party. He probably rents to most of them thru Government assistance where he is paid directly.So there you go people the Covid dots start with these two

Jake day is like a little squirrel with ADHD. He scurries around digging up this and that,makes a mess and never finishes anything. He's been an unmitigated diaster for Salisbury.

City of Salisbury is lucky none of the homeless utilizing those tents was injured or killed when that storm packing 50 mph gusts came in and destroyed tent city. Since it's clearly apparent that the City had the funds to place these people into hotel/motel rooms in the first place, it appears tent city was nothing more than a publicity stunt by the mayor.
