Is a free meal a help or a hindrance? Residents in the beach town of Dana Point can't agree.
As the dinner buffet was being prepared, county outreach workers showed up to check on clients they knew were likely to turn out, and a representative of IHope, an interfaith homeless outreach agency, told me her group offers links to housing and other services. So there’s more for the taking than just a hot meal.
Wyatt suggested Lemly’s good intentions were counterproductive, and he argued that the focus should be on trying “to move people out of desperate circumstances, not let them wallow in those circumstances.” He said sheriff’s deputies had observed the dinner crowd and concluded that 67% of the recipients were “known criminals.”
A retired CPA, Nelson said she did the math and determined that if every adult in Dana Point donated roughly $60 to a housing fund annually, the area’s several dozen homeless people could all be housed. She also said she had recommended that Capo Cares members donate to the nonprofits trying to address homelessness in the area.
