Project Description

Bid Title:	Encampment Resolution Funding
Category:	County General
Status:	Open

Description: Homeless encampments in communities are a visible consequence of insufficient affordable housing, inadequate shelter capacity, and the criminalization of homelessness. These encampments often form when individuals lack access to safe, stable housing and viable alternatives, leading them to congregate in public spaces.   However, though meaning well, encampments can pose risks to both the residents and the surrounding community due to unsanitary conditions, the spread of disease, and potential for violence. Encampments also tax community public safety resources through law enforcement sweeps can be costly and ineffective in the long run, while failing to address the underlying causes of homelessness.  These sweeps can be traumatizing and disruptive, further undermining individuals' well-being and their ability to secure housing. It has been recognized that safe parking programs offer a designated, supervised area where individuals experiencing homelessness can park their vehicles overnight, providing a sense of safety and access to essential services. The LCCoC, including those with lived experience, has determined, safe parking addresses homelessness by offering a transitional space and connecting individuals with resources to help them move into more stable housing while mitigating encampments around Lake County through this alternative.
