Stop the Beach Motel Conversion!!
The Tenderloin Housing Clinic is at it again – Attacking our neighborhood!
It is trying to force the owner of the Beach Motel at 4201 Judah Street to run the motel as a group home, housing welfare recipients or felons. The homeless population and crime in our area could drastically increase!
The facts:
- In 1991, Randy Shaw and the Tenderloin Housing Clinic tried to force the owners of the Beach Motel to rent rooms to homeless people and welfare recipients.
- The California Superior Court said that the Beach Motel was NOT a group housing center and had a right to keep running the business the same way it had been running for 30 years – as a tourist motel.
- With the community’s support, we’ve successfully kept the Tenderloin Housing Clinic out for 15 years. But now this homeless rights organization and the City bureaucracy are trying once again to destroy this neighbor’s livelihood and our neighborhood’s character.
