“We will be asking for an appropriation of the continuation of the Sullivan so we have a seamless transition,” she said. “We do know that there will be an unsheltered population this summer,” Johnson said, “and we’re working with the Coalition [to End Homelessness] to limit the impact on campers and unsheltered people and also the constituents and city as far as public safety goes.”
