Nearly three weeks ago I sent an online report to Tacoma Cares after speaking with a Tacoma Police Officer regarding an abandoned property near ours that is drawing transients and has become an issue for the rest of us on the block. I have not heard anything back from this organization. The phone number only goes to a recording that no one responds to and the email notification does not seem effective either. I am now curious how this program is funded and what its resources are. Is the funding not adequate to provide the services needed? Is the funding being allocated approprately? Who manages this program and what oversight is there? Do they have a program charter? Seems like it is a nice idea with a catchy business name that does nothing.
