Project Details from Consultant Report
In recommending consideration of the impacts of quality-of-life offenses on homeless populations, we are not suggesting that people experiencing homelessness are above the law in some way. Instead, we are recommending that criminal enforcement is likely not the best tool to achieve the outcomes the City wants – to get people housed and stabilized.
