Update: 2025-12-12

City officials outline their approach to homelessness, focusing on connecting individuals with services rather than arrests. During November 1st to December 7th, officers contacted nearly 300 campsites and over 500 people, issuing citations only when individuals declined available shelter or broke city rules. Mayor Keith Wilson emphasizes the importance of services, not enforcement, in addressing homelessness. The city has created 1,500 shelter beds, aiming to provide solutions rather than just enforcement.
