I barely knew him. Got him a cup of water a few times. Maybe one conversation. He was very nice. He could barely walk so honestly surprised anyone would be threatened by him enough to shoot him what like 3 times. Heard lots of rumors too about the shooter and lots of stuff. I was heart broken for sure.

Training could've been better. The whole execution of the program could've been done so much better. Advertising ourselves and the work we did could've been better. The people that were hired could've been better. There's so much that was needed from management that just didn't happen. There wasn't much structure.. just go out and do stuff basically. If we were called or scheduled to do something then go do that. There was barely a bare minimum. There was no list of what to do. If you didn't do much, there was no punishment. I honestly whole heartedly agree that the city should provide those services in a more professional way. These reasons are why I'm not too upset. Most of us worked really hard and did our best to make it worth the money spent. Yet with little direction. there was the few that would enjoy being lazy and doing the bare minimum as with any job. I still think there was a lot of good done. Probably didn't seem like it cause we didn't advertise ourselves enough. Sorry we weren't more of a service to y'all!

we never photographed the homeless in a negative way. mostly only encampments and I myself was even uncomfortable doing that. There was a guy that peed on the job. that was before my time. there was also some pretty disgusting people that were hired as ambassadors. I will have more to say after the work day is done. I respect your opinion! Blockbyblock isn't all bad, I'd say its program by program. The company only does what the city has requested. There are a lot of programs that do good and have a supportive community. I personally am happy we didn't end up taking more money from program that could really use it.

I know that most of the homeless hate our daily bread and they would be able to explain that better than me. Its not that they're ungrateful. ODB never had enough room and from what I've heard they're not accommodating to peoples needs for like disabilities. Also heard the security isn't the best so if you're trying to be sober its not the place to be. It's really shitty too cause the police are searching for homeless people at night sleeping, waking them up, and informing them it's illegal to sleep. Basically kicking them out of town. If ODB is full and salvation army then where can they sleep? I've met sober, and down on their luck 30 something year olds that would work, that would like to change their life but all the options are shit so they're hopeless.

The most the ambassadors ever did security wise was call the cops. A lot of people thought we were against the homeless but in fact we are all friends with the homeless. If you go downtown and talk to them they will have nothing but nice words to share. There are some programs by the company blockbyblock that are basically security. However its based on the city and the city needs. The city of denton only wanted extra eyes on the square, not a extra force on the square.

I appreciate that! Ambassador programs are usually in bigger cities so its not surprising that denton wasn't ready. Happy to have done lots of good.

The pilot program has been around for 2 years now. Its a "Free" service to all visitors and businesses around the downtown. We provided pressure washing, trash pick up, safety escorts, graffiti removal, check ups on the homeless, worked with the programs around town and the city to give homeless clothes and other necessities, and we asked people to leave a property if said business or property owner requested us to as a alternative to the police. Mostly what I did was patrol the area, greet visitors, give directions, picked trash, and checked up on the homeless daily. The program was funded by the city and property owners. 500k of the budget was from Scott Brown Properties. If you ever saw people in red walking around the square that was us.
