YOUR DONATIONS WILL SUPPORT A SAFER CITY FOR OUR CHILDREN, SCHOOLS, BUSINESSES, AND RESIDENTS—Helping Prevent Crime and Restore Our Community’s Livelihood.

Spokane is facing a crisis that affects every resident, business, and visitor. The unchecked crime surrounding certain city-sanctioned housing facilities has overwhelmed our emergency services, harmed local businesses, and made parts of our city unsafe. Be a Spokane Hero is taking action to hold the City of Spokane and Catholic Charities accountable for the damage caused by these facilities, and we need your support.

Expected Results of a Successful Lawsuit

1. Crime Reduction You Can See
   A measurable drop in crime rates in downtown Spokane — fewer assaults, thefts, and drug-related incidents — restoring public safety.

2. Accountability and Oversight
   Independent monitoring and legal enforcement to ensure the City and Catholic Charities comply with nuisance abatement and public safety laws.

3. Permanent Closure or Reform of Crime Hotspots
   Court-ordered shutdowns, relocations, or mandated operational reforms for facilities proven to attract and concentrate criminal activity.

4. Restored Business and Property Value
   Increased property values and a healthier real estate market as crime declines and investment returns to the area.

5. Economic Revival for Spokane
   A more attractive environment for new businesses, tourism, and events — leading to job creation and stronger sales tax revenues.

6. Improved City Finances
   Reduced taxpayer spending on policing, emergency response, and clean-up costs — freeing funds for infrastructure, parks, and community programs.

7. Safer, More Prosperous Neighborhoods
   Higher family incomes, increased investment in local schools, and stronger neighborhood stability as the city recovers from entrenched crime.

8. A National Model for Change
   Spokane becomes a case study in how a city can turn around chronic nuisance zones and reclaim its downtown core through legal action.
