This was one of the 2 encampments that was selling Meth to 13 year old kid. I sent all my evidence and information to the resource officers and to Shannon of the Homelessness Services Department. They came out twice and after several months this encampment and the other one at Kim Longs Market was disbanded. Selling drugs non stop, the encampment growing to 10-12 people mostly men but to sell to children and then having that kid go and share it to other children as young as 8. it broke my heart. I was homeless and I tried every single day to get them help, get them in contact with the services, to shelters but some didn't want to go.  Each day we had seen them naked, going to the bathroom, selling drugs, shooting up drugs, fights and we would call the police.

Hello Everyone,
This blog is created to reach out to my fellow neighbors and my community.
Feel free to ask me any questions, I am an open book.
Thank you Josie

Josephine Villasenor: Platform for the Arts

How can politics support the arts? I would identify a business that allows artists to express themselves creatively. For instance,  I believe Fox Coffee House is an asset to the artistic community because it allows local artists to express themselves regardless of artistic genre. It is significant to the community because it helps the local artists connect with each other and grow.

The under-utilized municipal assets are homemade crafts and the artists that made them. I would make them more easily accessible by bringing those artists into Events like the Neighborhood Art Walks.

I would support these businesses by promoting them to the community, having meetings within the business and by having pop up events at the businesses themselves. Municipal Government should fund the arts through grants and school funding. I would advocate to discuss municipal funding for the arts to better understand how much government support and funding is practical and feasible. 

Please show your support by liking Josephine A Villaseñor's Facebook Candidate Page. And remember to vote in the District Six Primary on 04/12/2016.
