Fremont city leaders are set to vote on a proposed camping ban aimed at addressing homelessness, which is projected to be among the most severe in California. The ordinance would not only penalize individuals living outdoors but also those who help conceal or facilitate camping. Critics argue that this may lead to misinterpretations by the courts, necessitating clearer language in the ordinance. Despite reductions in homelessness, advocates claim that Fremont lacks sufficient resources for temporary and permanent housing placements, raising concerns over the effectiveness of the ban.
So making it this clear and explicit around people needing to live outside can only mean Fremont is trying to do something different.
They are enacting an ordinance that can be used that way. Courts are going to interpret it based on the language of the ordinance, so they need to change the language.
Our goal is always to lead with services and safety and to, again, help people get a permanent path to housing.
I've been trying to get housing for four years. After working with various services providers, I said I'm finally on the cusp of getting a subsidized apartment.
