Transportation Because I don't have reliable transportation, nor do I have a way to pay for the vehicle I have to be fixed in an affordable place and the public transportation is not running often enough Safe & Affordable Housing Wage Increase Comments • I appreciate getting to put my two cents worth and thoughts out there, thank you. We are living in crazy, unthinkable times as a community and a nation. I can only hope that by the input of a whole array of opinions and perceptions it can put us on a path to normalcy. Thank you for the opportunity to have input. • Thank you for letting me give you my response. • Most of the options in this survey are not available to the point of satisfying any one group in a rural area. • Thank you for offering these questions for my input. I believe all ideas from across our community will make a difference. • Having been the director and volunteering at HWS for quite a while and keeping in contact with some of the guests outside of the station, and at one point being homeless myself, I know quite a bit about needs. • Thank you. • It's crazy • I am looking for work but desperately need assistance with reliable transportation. Safe and affordable housing is almost non existing nowadays. My rent is going up $100 in Jan.1st, 2022. Then up to $1,400 in the next 6 months and we have to put up with a flooded basement up to 12 inches every year. Then the rest of the year, it creates Black Mold that makes us sick. So, we have no choice but to live in this situation because we cannot find affordable and safe housing in our community. Higher wages directly lift people out of poverty.
