City House, a local homeless shelter for teenagers, is being sued by the Department of Housing and Urban Development. This is a potential threat to the expansion of this homeless shelter into Frisco.

“I believe that Frisco should expand the City House Organization because in the future the rate of homeless teenagers can potentially increase,” junior Jaison Bennet said. With many sides to the story student Lauryn Zots wanted to make her voice present.

“I support City House because I think kindness is a necessity to have in our current world and many teens have been forced out of their homes because of their parents, for reasons that I think may or may not be immoral,” Zotz said. Not only do the students have sympathy towards the City House, but parents also cased their opinion towards this case.

“I feel angry about this case because the Department of Housing and Urban Development is wanting to shut down a home hat provides hope to the homeless,” parent Lisa Thompson said. The homeless teens not only have to worry about their school grades, but also where they could sleep every night.

“I feel guilty about not being able to help these teenagers because I can’t imagine what they must be feeling because I am not in their situation,” Bennett said.

City House is getting sued because the term “single-family-residential use or purpose.” Suing is one way to solve this, but Thompson created a resolution of her own.

“If the homeless shelter can abide by the rules of the Home Owners Association with regard to maintaining the appearance of the home and all the other rules and regulations, then it should count as a home,” Thompson said. Though the shut down of this homeless shelter may mean nothing to some people, but others have the feeling of sympathy towards City House.

“I think it means businesses care more about the people with money than those who have been treated unfairly and can’t afford a home,” Zotz said. Some students express their emotions about this court case by imagining themselves as one of the homeless teenagers.

“I would be ashamed if I was a student and homeless teenager trying to maintaining good grades,” Bennet said. The ability to have sympathy towards the teenagers has created more people to support City House.

“I support City House because I believe rights that rights are worth fighting for and as long as the house keeps up with Home Owners Association regulations, then they should be legal,” Thompson said. Attempting to relate to the students creates imagination towards how student would feel if they were homeless.

“I would be disappointed if my only hope in a home has been taken away from me, but I would probably be used to the rejection,” Zots said. “These teenagers need a home you know.”
