SEATTLE (KOMO) – Some neighbors in the Licton Springs area say theft, trespassing and late-night noise are now a constant part of their lives since a permanent supportive housing facility opened this past spring.

The Clement Place is just off Aurora Avenue on N 96th Street. It opened six months ago to serve the chronically homeless. People who live across the street said that's when the issues really started to add up.

“We definitely have noticed a spike since they built that building and started operating it,” said Christian Ellstrom, who lives in a townhouse complex.

Clement Place is home to some of Seattle's most vulnerable adults. It includes people who struggle with disabilities, drugs or mental illness. DESC, the nonprofit that runs it, said people living at the facility aren’t to blame for the street disorder and crime, but some neighbors see it differently.

“It seems to be so rowdy, and it will be late at night and these people are blasting music. People are yelling. They are getting in fights," said Kat Hill, another townhouse resident.

While some neighbors understand the need for a place to bring some stability for the homeless, they said too many problems spill into the streets.

“I don't see the control that needs to be in place,” said Jason Rivera, a neighbor.

Noah Fay, the director of housing programs for DESC, said he was unaware of any complaints. Some neighbors mentioned people stealing their power and leaving their outdoor water taps running. Fay doubted that to be the case.

“While it’s possible that Clement Place tenants are involved in what has been reported, I find it highly unlikely, as our tenants have access to water and electricity in their apartments and would have no need to steal these from neighbors. In fact, people like our tenants, those with major disabilities, are often blamed for these sorts of things with little proof,” Fay wrote in an email.

Neighbors have a different take.

“I see them coming in and out of the property. They are regulars. They are regular folks who are here all the time,” Rivera said.

DESC said they want to be good neighbors, and if any of these complaints are true, they want to know about it to take quick action.
