Tried to seize the Monarch Resort. I’m usually suspicious of these tax funded humanity projects.
On Oct. 16, FBI and IRS agents arrested 31 -year-old Cody Holmes, financial officer of Shangri-La Industries, on a federal complaint alleging he provided fake bank records to the California Department of Housing and Community Development, which paid him nearly $25 million in taxpayer funds for a state homelessness project dubbed Project Homekey.
And the Coast Weakly thought this was a “Great Thing”.
It’s happening. Swooping in and taking property away to house the bums that don’t want the responsibilities of adulthood. Soon it may be YOUR spare bedroom they give away to the losers. We already have a person in charge it seems :Pacific Grove Housing Manager Anastacia Wyatt.
When the issue came back to the council on Feb. 16, Wyatt had to amend the Homekey grant proposal to state that the Monarch Resort was no longer available and another site would have to be found, although it appears unlikely that will happen soon. At a meeting of the P.G. Hospitality Improvement District on Feb. 9, hotel owners, including Dianne Mahroom, said they would not consent to selling their hotels for “homeless shelters.” (Homekey projects are permanent homes.) Wyatt points out that refusing to sell for such housing could be ruled discriminatory under federal law.
