Existing law establishes the Encampment Resolution Funding program, administered by the Department of Housing and Community Development, to increase collaboration between the council, local jurisdictions, and continuums of care for, among other things, assisting local jurisdictions in ensuring the safety and wellness of people experiencing homelessness in encampments.
This bill would additionally include, as a program purpose, assisting local jurisdictions with the removal and storage of cars and recreational vehicles, as specified, and assisting local jurisdictions with increasing safe parking site hours, as purposes of the program. The bill would define encampments to include people using cars and recreational vehicles for temporary shelter along public roads.
