From Emily Semple's Facebook page:

"It is beginning to look like my first priority will have to be homelessness. Over 85 percent of the people I have spoken to while canvassing have named it as the most important issue for them. Most of the people in Eugene have a friend or relative who has experienced homelessness, and everyone in Eugene has been touched by it in some way. The city's Housing First approach while necessary, is not sufficient. There is not enough housing to make a dent in the homeless situation. We need a policy of Shelter First, and we need to stand by our commitment to the rest stops and heed Kitty Piercy's call for a public shelter."
