Homeless On Bringham Ave We have received dozens of emails from members and seen many postings on social media about the small tent city that has been there about a year.

However, the courts have ruled the City may not remove people from the sidewalk unless they are offered housing. The court ruling is based on Constitutional protections and therefore new or different laws are not the answer. A member sent us this documentary on the issue which a few board members viewed with differing reactions. The City and County are working on long term solutions which will take time, resources and multiple, sustained efforts to be effective.
