Lorena McDowell Fails Us

 The What If’s.  What if you fail to do your duty, while chasing the spotlight.  Failed to protect government employees, Lorena McDowell.  Failed to protect our community against predators.  Failed to care but chase after the spotlight.  No open and competitive hiring, but rather BDE, we will hire only blacks. 

What does this mean?  Lorena in her capacity of Housing Director in Wake County failed to even have concrete oversight of the centers and programs she runs.  You cannot be so focused on being on the radio, in the televisions spotlight, on Twitter, on Instagram, and fail to administer and preside over the government programs you are in charge of.  What does that lead to and result in?  The result is employees, government employees, at a heightened risk for personal harm and injury at places like the South Wilmington Center for Men.  What that means is just Warehousing of the homeless without concrete services.  “Low Barrier” has been transformed to a government safe haven to OD, sell drugs, and engage in illegal activities on or around government property. 

Gentrification of Raleigh has resulted in the push to get the eyesores, the homeless, out of “our streets”.  The result is to just warehouse them at SWSC and other sites.  With COVID, a government employee was wrongfully terminated for enforcing COVID policy, and, all under the auspices and control of Lorena. 

Countless numbers of sexual predators live within feet of a family center with children. SWSC and Oak City. 

It should not be a practice to allow homeless high individuals to threaten other homeless guests and employees with the blessings of Lorena and other staff.  The administration and policies need to be scrutinized.  That is the bottom line.  A call for an investigation beginning at the South Wilmington Center for Men.
