As of right now there is only one emergency shelter in Scott County, Kentucky and the population it houses is men. There is such a great need for emergency shelter for women with children and the homeless population of any capacity. Male children that are 12 years or older should not be rejected the right to seek shelter with their parent because of their age, a male child of 12 or older is not able to take care of themselves and a mother should not have to face the challenges of leaving her male child behind because of his age. It is not another's counties responsibility to help the citizens of Scott County put their lives back together when we the citizens of Scott County are capable of doing that very thing. If time is not taking out to realize the great need that stands before our eyes, this community will soon be over run by homelessness and several other major conditions. Georgetown,KY is and has grown at a rapid pace and with that alone we have to be ready and equipped to face challenges as such. Please sign this petition with the hopes that our Mayor will take these things into consideration and take the steps necessary to help those in need. 

Sincerely, 

Gabrielle Butler
