Lots of people living RVs along el camino in Palo Alto. They shouldn't have to come to Mountain View for help.

At Family & Children Services of Silicon Valley (now a division of Caminar), we're thrilled to read about this much needed resource, which will benefit many people we serve through our counseling, substance use, and domestic violence survivor services in north county.

It's a good start and makes me proud of our city. Glad to live in a community that values compassion as a public venue dynamic. I think publically funded compassion is an important gage as to a city's civility and decency. Too bad our federal govt "leaders" want to abandon all efforts based in this priority.
