many things interesting at the meeting. First being that when we
had a meeting two and a half years ago we were told that
Flenniken would house 48 chronically homeless men only, who
would have severe mental illness and drug/alcohol addiction.
When this was brought up at this meeting everyone with the TYP
shook their heads no and said they never said it would only be
men. (Did everyone in South Knoxville dream this?) Second, Ginny
and Robert Finley stated that the TYP is evolving and that they
would not turn down someone who isn't considered "chronically"
homeless and they would allow these people entry into the
apartments. When questioned further about the fact that the TYP
has been talking only about the chronically homeless, Robert
said that the plan is evolving and that this has changed. He
said everyone knew this already. So instead of just talking
about 1200 chronically homeless people they are talking about
housing, I think the estimate is 8
