“These are vulnerable citizens. We aren't going to go in and try to hurt anyone. I think it’s to work in collaboration with our outreach partners to make sure that our approach is as reasonable and compassionate as possible.”

Every winter we have the same thing, the different organizations that transition street folks into stable housing try to house as many people as possible

It's not the type of situation where they just come and bust up the camps and fuck everybody's lives up, there's an actual effort to house people

A good percentage make it, a good percentage wnd back up on the streets but that's their choice or condition of their lives
