In 2024, 4PA paid 32% of its donors’ contributions on wages and benefits while relying upon the backs of a reported 300 volunteers. Who received those wages and benefits? 4PA claims to be “transparent.” Where do we find this transparency?
We see new trucks and a shop, new retail and office spaces, but shelters, not so much. Low barrier, housing-first shelters, not at all.
It has been reported that another million dollars may be needed to complete the 4PA project. A project that will provide high barrier transitional “sheds'“ for a dozen people. Head shake goes here.
The group says housing first doesn't work. Studies show it does, especially when services are provided. I've yet to see Tozzer, Seegers, or 4PA reference a single study. Insert second head shake here.
