On Wednesday morning, city officials reviewed the temporary injunction that limits the city’s ability to sweep encampments off the streets.
The roughly 50-minute hearing included attorneys and members of the panel interrupting one another at times, and attempting to speak over one another.
Lee, who appeared on behalf of the Coalition on Homelessness, argued that “the injunction must be defined consistent with the definitions of involuntary homelessness.” City officials countered that the temporary injunction will only worsen the issues of homeless populations crowding the streets, as opposed to making way for affordable solutions that will address the lack of shelter and mental health resources at hand.“The injunction must be defined consistent with the definitions of involuntary homelessness,” said Snodgrass. “We ask the court to clarify, in this case.
His impassioned claims were resounded by Lee, who believed that the issue did not simply take root with street encampments, but the lack of resources driving their proliferation. At times during the session, arguments aligned, with all parties agreeing that Ryu’s temporary injunction was too vague and that the issues surrounding encampments required far more urgent attention applied, such as long-term sheltering solutions.
