I’m a current volunteer at an organization called HAND UP FOR WOMEN and also have a son that was in the program at TRUE PURPOSE but unfortunately he didn’t complete the program. I know that programs like these can have make a wonderful difference for not only one person but generations down that family line. I understand the concerns of the people in the Karns community but I also feel if they could work together with the people that are going to be overseeing this program their fears might subside.
People need a place to rest their hearts and minds when they are battling demons and a nice safe, secure environment is beneficial toward success. I’ve seen firsthand how much of a productive member of society they can be. They could contribute to the Karns community by keeping the trash picked up, maybe building a park in area, etc. In these programs they are taught to serve others and how to take their eyes off theirselves.
Please approve the Zion Men’s boardinghouse project. I would love and welcome something like this in the 37921 zip code.

Hello,
I am writing in to you today regarding the property on 3430 Zion Rd I was very upset when I heard a boarding home for men is wanting to be placed on this property merely a block away from my elderly disabled parents.There is no public transportation, nor jobs within walking distance of this property only established neighborhoods. There is no need for a facility of this kind in a residential area that has NO resources to help rehabilitate men. We do not want this in our area! How is this good for established neighborhoods, families, small children and elderly? There aren't even sidewalks in the area for them to take walks, they would have to walk onto someone's private property if trying to leave the home, because Ball Road has a very high traffic load. This is not for our community, Halls didn't want them in the middle of their neighborhood and we don't either. Please take this seriously, would you want this next door to your elderly parents, their property value to go down, to not feel safe in their home the habe owned for over 30 years? I doubt you would, and I don't want to see it next to mine either. Please deny them the rights to come to our neighborhood and community!Thank you.
