change the way you think
and accelerate these lives."
She said the shelter
would interfere with plans
that were already in place
for the area.
"We already had a area
plan in place," Reid said. "I
feel they (Salvation Army)
are disregarding what the
residents of the community
really want."
Reid also said that hav
ing a homeless shelter in
the neighborhood will
bring down the property
value of the area.
"Nobody wants to build
in a area where there's a
homeless shelter,"' Reid
said. "This area already has
enough concentrated
poverty, the last thing we
need right now is to add to
it."
Lucy Paynter, who is
the board chairwoman of
The Salvation Army, was at
the meeting to set the
record straight about its
plans for the building.
Paynter, told those at the
meeting that the shelter
would be intended to serve
homeless women with chil
dren who need help in the
area.
Painter also explained
that they must move from
their current location on
Trade Street to separate
those in the corrections
program from women, chil
dren and families who have
fallen on hard times. The
location on Cleveland
Avenue would accomplish
that goal.
The shelter for home
less families is the only one
in Winston-Salem, and has
been in the city for 108
years.
"The shelter will not be
intended to rehabilitate
those returning from
prison. I'm here to make
Paynter, said.
Paynter, -said that they
have looked into other
locations but have yet to
find another location that
fits all their needs.
"We only have
$500,000 to spend on a
building," Paynter, said.
"We have looked into other
locations, but have yet to
find another location that
fits into our budget."
"We just don't have
enough room at our current
location," Paynter, said.
"Both programs deserve
their own separate space."
Roshena Blake, a law
school graduate and resi
dent of the Salvation Army,
voiced her frustration with
members of the community
as well.
She reminded Reid and
other residents that it could
happen to anyone and to
say that she is a bad person
because of her situation
just isn't right.
"We are not bad peo
ple," Blake said. "We have
just fallen on hard times.
This coold happen to any
one, and for them to push
us away like we're crimi
nals is very disheartening.
"Although I may be
homeless right now, I have
a job and pay taxes just like
you." Blake said. "What
happened to me could hap
pen to anybody. I just can't
believe what I'm hearing
here today."
Shelter residents are
required to be in the build
ing by 8:30 each evening
unless wocking, attending
church or attending another
community meeting. Blake
hopes that the residents in#
the East/Northeast commu
nity open their eyes and see
what this shelter really is.
"These are suppose to
be loving, Christian people,
I cant believe they would
just be willing to push peo
ple in need away like this."
Voting on the rezoning
is scheduled for July 20 at 7
p.m., at City Hall, Room
230.
