Readers React Positively to Del. Olszewski's Idea To Address Homelessness

Del. John Olszewski Jr.'s column about using a vacant shopping center to serve as a center for homeless services attracted many responses from readers—mostly positive.

The District 6 Democrat wrote that "the recent decision by the Dundalk United Methodist Church to cancel plans for a homeless shelter in the heart of the Old Dundalk community has brought the issue of homelessness into the forefront."

In the article, he proposed using the "now-vacant Diamond Point Shopping Center" as an acceptable location to "provide services for both Dundalk and Essex residents in need." 

Got a comment of your own, add them to the comments section at the bottom of this article. I'll follow up with the delegate to see what next steps might be taken to execute his idea.
