IFC created a map of all the social services in Chapel Hill in an attempt to say that every facility has the same impact.

But there is no comparison between a 5 person residential handicap home and a 52 bed men's homeless shelter which takes an additional 17 or more drunk and high men.  There is no comparison of the impacts between a 56 bed women's shelter which has 60 police incidents in the last 7 years and the Ronald McDonald House with 5 incidents in 7 years.  



We asked IFC to produce a map of overnight at-risk facilities serving 25 or more unrelated people in one facility.  They refused.

On the left, the triangle contains the three overnight at-risk facilities serving 25 or more unrelated people.  On the right, IFC looked up every possible social service they could think of including churches which do mission work, houses with a few handicap people living in a residential setting, a driving-while-impaired classroom, Chapel Hill Transit HQ, the Orange County Literacy Council, the NC Autism Society, every retirement home, etc.  You name it and it is on their map.  Fair comparison?  Definitely not.




In the small triangle in the map of the three highest at-risk facilities in the triangle:

• Freedom House, which detoxes 850 people per year and has 25 halfway house beds
• The women's shelter, which houses 56 people - Two buildings of singles women and one building of women/children.
• The proposed men's shelter - 52 men + 17 wet shelter men 200 nights/year
