Former Homeless Panel Chair Voices Concerns on New Advisory Committee

PITTSFIELD, Mass. — The chairman of the former homeless committee has concerns about transparency and governing within the newly established Homeless Advisory Committee and believes Chairwoman Kim Borden's ambiguous speech addressing disrespect within the panel was "out of line."
Edward Carmel, who had been chair of the rescinded Homelessness Prevention Committee, identified himself as the target of Borden's comments in last week's HAC meeting and told iBerkshires that two agenda items he attempted to submit were the reason for her testimony.
"I'm looking out for the other residents," he said. "I am a huge advocate of helping homeless because I was homeless and it's just not right, we're just not doing it right and they won't take suggestions from nobody."
