Among advocates for those without stable shelter, new residents of the Nevada Cares compound and concerned social media commenters, there are growing calls for transparency of where exactly millions and millions of federal dollars are being spent, with more on the way, and whether the money is being spent judiciously. When we visited the pilot safe camp part of the compound, and asked if perhaps preparations had been rushed, or what exactly Washoe County and Karma Box Project staff were doing on site, not all of our questions seemed appreciated, as when we pressed for more details, we were told to “wrap it up.” When we started asking questions about the county’s contract with Karma Box we were repeatedly told that “documentation” could be sent to us, but we found little in the way of details there. With all the money coming in could we then not start other safe camps to see what models might work best?
