People who live and work near the Sullivan Arena, which has re-opened as an emergency homeless shelter, are concerned about crime in the area.
SJ Klein owns a business just up from the arena and he’s also a member of the Fairview Community Council. Klein said since the Sullivan re-opened as an emergency homeless shelter on Oct. 1, the neighborhood has seen an uptick in crime.
Because the shelter is accepting far fewer overnight guests than it did when it first opened in 2020, Klein said there are more people milling about in the neighborhood, and some of them are causing trouble. Vivian Washington, who said she often stays at the Sullivan, was hanging out on the hill Tuesday afternoon with a group of people. Washington said most people who loiter or light fires in the neighborhood don’t mean harm, instead, they are trying to stay warm. She said that’s especially true for people who chose not to go into the shelter, who oftentimes have addictions or mental health problems.
Klein doesn’t think that’s fair to the neighborhood and he wants the city to do more. Recently, members of the Fairview Community Council sent Mayor Dave Bronson a letter asking for specific items to address the problem. Klein said they got little response, although the city’s homeless coordinator did attend at least one meeting.
