The Brother Benno Foundation is an organization that tells people, 'When you’re not welcome anywhere else, you’re welcome here.' But now, Oceanside residents are petitioning against their stay.
The Brother Benno Foundation is an organization that tells people, ‘when you’re not welcome anywhere else, you’re welcome here. But right now, Brother Benno's isn’t welcome in the industrial park where they are operating. KPBS North County reporter Tania Thorne tells us why.
“I’ve watched it escalate for over a decade, and it's not fair to us. I don't see a future here," said Dane Hantz, a business owner near Brother Benno's."My neighbor doesn't go to the dumpster without a gun on him. I can’t have my daughters work here. How is this fair to me? This is not fair.”"My dumpster… they cleaned it and disinfected it and the rain has washed a lot out, but it's dangerous.
Hantz shared images of some of the things he’s encountered outside of his business. He said most of the people pictured are getting some kind of resource from Brother Benno's. "If someone is sleeping in front of our door, we’re not supposed to wake them up and say ‘excuse me.' We're supposed to wait for the cops to come wake them up and ... It's just not right. It's not a good situation and no one is really doing anything about this in my opinion," O'Hara said.Pictured, the Brother Benno's Center during operating hours offering resources to the community.

Meyer acknowledges the problems the business owners are reporting, but he says the people causing them are just a handful out of the 5,000 individuals registered at Brother Benno’s.
