Volunteers drive around to the camps and link the residents to local social service agencies.
There is a lot of existing support structures for the homeless. Single women and families with young children are prioritized for housing (should the homeless want traditional housing.)
Thanks for this info. Clearly people are helping them - they have tents after all - and it’s good to know the services that they are connected to. It’s also important to remember that the city has been providing encampments water and sanitation services as well. I’ve seen honeybuckets, portable sinks and garbage cans that are serviced.
These people have not been neglected. Hopefully they can be housed and we can move on from this ridiculous situation.
