Created index.html Manny Martinez for Salem City Council | A Community-First Plan

Are We Ready to Actually Solve the Homelessness Emergency in Salem?

I'm Manny Martinez, and I'm running for City Council to stop the talk and start the work. This isn't just my plan—it's a community-built roadmap to restore safety and dignity for everyone in our city.

Our Community-First Pillars

📢

1. Priorities

Homelessness #1A, Public Safety #1B. Every City Council meeting starts here. No more delays.

🏠

2. Shelter

Building and repurposing space is our #1 priority. We need more beds, period.

🏗️

3. 2027 Salem Yard Sale

Liquidate unused city assets to fund shelters, recovery services, and public safety.

4. Managed Camping

One managed, secure site per ward. Replace unmanaged disasters with supervised solutions.

🤝

5. Business Partnerships

Innovative, private-funded revenue streams like digital billboards to pay for community services.

⚖️

6. Enforcement

Once we provide alternatives, we enforce the ban. Fairness through accountability.

👮

7. Law Enforcement for the Unwilling

Every effort to help first. But no one gets a free pass to break the law after refusing all support.

This is just the foundation.
