And Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao on Monday issued an \u003ca href=\"https://oaklandside.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Executive-Order-2024.pdf\">executive order\u003c/a> directing all city departments to “fully enforce” its encampment management policies and laws protecting city infrastructure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Being unhoused is not a crime in Oakland, but it does not give anyone the right to break other laws,” \u003ca href=\"https://x.com/MayorShengThao/status/1838273205892788400\">she wrote on X\u003c/a>. “We must return public spaces to the public.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Fresno law is a coup for exasperated business owners and residents who say unchecked encampments create health and safety concerns and impinge on their access to public spaces.

It increases the chances of being homeless on the streets again, and it’s not a resolution,” local activist Bob McCloskey said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city council passed the law in mid-August over loud complaints from McCloskey and other advocates. It builds on a similar 2018 ordinance that wasn’t carried out because it included a provision that allowed for enforcement only if there were enough shelter beds for the city’s entire unhoused population, said Fresno City Attorney Andrew Janz, a policy that was in keeping with standing legal precedent at the time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, the Supreme Court’s decision opened the door for local law enforcement to cite and arrest unhoused people regardless of whether a city has shelter beds to offer. Since then, 46 jurisdictions across the country have enacted new policies or, as in Fresno’s case, amended existing policies, according to Eric Tars, legal director of the National Homelessness Law Center. In one of the most extreme cases, he said, a Tennessee state law that makes public camping a felony punishable by up to six years in prison is \u003ca href=\"https://nashvillebanner.com/2024/07/18/supreme-court-ruling-tennessee-homelessness-law/#:~:text=Camping%20was%20already%20a%20felony,already%20existed%20here%20in%20Tennessee.\">now being enforced\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“None of these laws are actually helping anyone end their homelessness in any way except by incarcerating them, which is the most expensive way to house a person,” Tars said, noting that in many places, people could be housed for a month for the cost of a week in jail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Nobody chooses to be homeless and to have to urinate or defecate or use drugs outdoors,” he said. “That choice has been made for them by the elected officials who have known for years that we have an affordable housing crisis and have chosen to not fix it and now are redirecting the blame onto the very victims of that failure.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fresno’s ordinance encourages judges and attorneys to consider diversion or probation in lieu of a fine or jail time, contingent on completion of a rehabilitation program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Janz, whose office will oversee prosecutions under the law, said he would direct his prosecutors to prioritize plea deals that involve enrollment in mental health or treatment programs rather than jail time or fines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is a new area of law for us,” he said, “so we’ll see what the courts do.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said the police chief will need to guide police officers about when to cite and arrest suspected violators under the new law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Interim Police Chief Mindy Castro said officers would get training on how to offer services and when to make arrests, in addition to eight hours of crisis intervention training. When it comes to people living in vehicles, Castro said officers would make case-by-case determinations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There has been a reluctance to take people into custody,” she said. “This helps them have the confidence to make a lawful arrest when the circumstances are proper.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The mayor said Monday that police would prioritize enforcement in sensitive areas, such as near schools, and continue offering shelter and services first. If unhoused residents turn them down, the police will ask them to move.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“However, if they are habitual offenders of the ordinance, then we’ll use a different approach,” Dyer said. Neither he nor Castro provided clarity on what defines a “habitual offender.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After issuing a citation, Dyer said officers would then have the option to take people to a treatment facility if a bed is available and they’re willing.

It increases the chances of being homeless on the streets again, and it’s not a resolution,” local activist Bob McCloskey said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city council passed the law in mid-August over loud complaints from McCloskey and other advocates. It builds on a similar 2018 ordinance that wasn’t carried out because it included a provision that allowed for enforcement only if there were enough shelter beds for the city’s entire unhoused population, said Fresno City Attorney Andrew Janz, a policy that was in keeping with standing legal precedent at the time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, the Supreme Court’s decision opened the door for local law enforcement to cite and arrest unhoused people regardless of whether a city has shelter beds to offer. Since then, 46 jurisdictions across the country have enacted new policies or, as in Fresno’s case, amended existing policies, according to Eric Tars, legal director of the National Homelessness Law Center. In one of the most extreme cases, he said, a Tennessee state law that makes public camping a felony punishable by up to six years in prison is \u003ca href=\"https://nashvillebanner.com/2024/07/18/supreme-court-ruling-tennessee-homelessness-law/#:~:text=Camping%20was%20already%20a%20felony,already%20existed%20here%20in%20Tennessee.\">now being enforced\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“None of these laws are actually helping anyone end their homelessness in any way except by incarcerating them, which is the most expensive way to house a person,” Tars said, noting that in many places, people could be housed for a month for the cost of a week in jail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Nobody chooses to be homeless and to have to urinate or defecate or use drugs outdoors,” he said. “That choice has been made for them by the elected officials who have known for years that we have an affordable housing crisis and have chosen to not fix it and now are redirecting the blame onto the very victims of that failure.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fresno’s ordinance encourages judges and attorneys to consider diversion or probation in lieu of a fine or jail time, contingent on completion of a rehabilitation program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Janz, whose office will oversee prosecutions under the law, said he would direct his prosecutors to prioritize plea deals that involve enrollment in mental health or treatment programs rather than jail time or fines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is a new area of law for us,” he said, “so we’ll see what the courts do.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said the police chief will need to guide police officers about when to cite and arrest suspected violators under the new law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Interim Police Chief Mindy Castro said officers would get training on how to offer services and when to make arrests, in addition to eight hours of crisis intervention training. When it comes to people living in vehicles, Castro said officers would make case-by-case determinations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There has been a reluctance to take people into custody,” she said. “This helps them have the confidence to make a lawful arrest when the circumstances are proper.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The mayor said Monday that police would prioritize enforcement in sensitive areas, such as near schools, and continue offering shelter and services first. If unhoused residents turn them down, the police will ask them to move.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“However, if they are habitual offenders of the ordinance, then we’ll use a different approach,” Dyer said. Neither he nor Castro provided clarity on what defines a “habitual offender.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After issuing a citation, Dyer said officers would then have the option to take people to a treatment facility if a bed is available and they’re willing.

The volume is hard to manage, as are the incidents that he said come with these new customers: A man bashed Trudeau in the head with a rod, splitting it open, after the reverend announced the cafe wouldn’t be able to feed everyone in line; people are overdosing while waiting for food, passing out and vomiting in the cafe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12000574\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12000574\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/20240808_EncampmentSweep_GC-29_qed.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/20240808_EncampmentSweep_GC-29_qed.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/20240808_EncampmentSweep_GC-29_qed-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/20240808_EncampmentSweep_GC-29_qed-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/20240808_EncampmentSweep_GC-29_qed-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/20240808_EncampmentSweep_GC-29_qed-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/20240808_EncampmentSweep_GC-29_qed-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Department of Public Works crew members ask Jasmine to relocate from Leavenworth Street. \u003ccite>(Gina Castro/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“I’ve been working for nine years trying to build up community, and when you have an influx come in it’s hard to take care of those who’ve called this place their living room,” Trudeau said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last week, as city workers cleared a small encampment under Interstate 101 near Cesar Chavez and Vermont streets, Gabe Brower stopped to thank them as he was riding by on his bike.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A year ago, Brower said, he had his bike stolen from his front porch, and a few days later, as he was passing by the camp on his way to work, he saw one of its residents working on it.
