Possible new Bel Aire group home for elderly in limbo amid neighbor concerns

A possible new group home for the elderly may not come to fruition after the Bel Aire planning commission failed to recommend approval of a special use permit Thursday night. But the home could still open if the City Council approves it next month. The owners, Torque Investments LLC, applied for a special use permit to operate a Home Plus property in an existing home in a single-family neighborhood in Bel Aire. Home Plus by the Kansas Department of Aging and Disability Services properties are group homes for seniors and people with disabilities who need extra help with daily activities. KDAD’s online directory shows that there are more than 250 Home Plus homes in the state, with just over 100 in Wichita. There are already two Home Plus properties in Bel Aire, according to that same directory. “In general, (this home is) for someone who needs extra care,” the applicant, Tim Harder, said during the meeting. The home in question is at 3900 N. Harding Avenue, near Oliver and 37th St. In addition to the special use permit, the applicants are also requesting a permit to convert the garage to a two-bedroom and one bathroom space. This would bring the

Wichita council decides not to consider resolution banning city-ICE agreements

Wichita City Council members abruptly ended their meeting Tuesday after discussing – and deciding not to consider – a resolution that would bar the city and police from making an agreement with ICE and the federal government to enforce immigration laws. District 1 council member Joseph Shepard said he has been talking with community members and advocates about immigration issues and concerns since February, and many of them have called upon him to introduce a Wichita trust and safety resolution. The resolution would publicly state that the city and the Wichita Police Department will not collaborate with the federal government to enforce federal immigration laws and deportations, also known as ICE’s 287(g) program. The city does not now have a 287(g) agreement, and the Wichita Police Department has previously said it has no intention of entering into one. “My original response to the community was, we have a police chief who has said we will not lock into a 287(g) agreement,” Shepard said at the meeting Tuesday night. “I feel very strongly that having the commitment from the police chief, while means a lot, it is not a policy. … The reality is that roles change, and that policy is
