203 Chief Cansler warned that the shelter could become a facility whereby supply creates demand with persons coming to the shelter from the counties of Mecklenburg, Gaston and Rowan. Stating that homelessness is a problem shared by all of Cabarrus County, Chief Cansler stated in his opinion a more centralized location rather than downtown Concord should be considered as a shelter site. He offered his services to the Task Force as it proceeds with its work. At the suggestion of Commissioner Casper, the Board by consensus agreed to issue an invitation to all municipalities to send a delegate to serve on the Task Force on Homelessness.
