Team 2: Where Do We Put The Shelter?

Description

We are a group of community leaders that have come together to develop a new shelter for the city. This will be an innovative center that will incorporate many different services for our service users. As we begin to come together we look at the whole project we find that we have a conflict about where to place the shelter. This piece of property is close to the downtown core and is close to an elementary school. The property is close to many good resources and it's on a bus route. This is why this piece of property was chosen. Where the shelter will be placed is highly contested. The reason being is that it is close to a private elementary school and the parents fear that adding a shelter to the neighbourhood would be detrimental to their children. The community has come together to try and stop the construction of the shelter in this location. However, the community leaders who work in the shelter are in the midst of negotiating with each other for space within the shelter and also with the community to ensure that the shelter will not disrupt the peacefulness of the community.
