Mayor Fred Keeley expresses concern about other cities offloading their homeless populations onto Santa Cruz, emphasizing that this should not happen "under the cover of darkness and stealthy and tricky maneuvers".
The City of Santa Cruz has implemented new regulations making it illegal for outside agencies to transport homeless individuals into the city, aiming to maintain community integrity and local resources.
Keeley noted a significant 50% decrease in street homelessness over the past two years, highlighting the city's proactive efforts to improve their local homeless situation.
The incident involving Hanford Police transporting a vulnerable homeless woman to Santa Cruz without prior arrangement spurred city leaders to take action against unauthorized transports, underscoring community values.
