The Point in Time count took place Thursday, but for homeless outreach workers, that count continues. This time for people living in RVs or cars.
Martinez said concerns over the increase in RVs needs to be addressed, but that options other than harsher parking regulations need to be explored.
“I do think we need to provide options for folks, being that we don't have enough housing and I know that we have over 1,000 families from our schools that are unhoused, ” Martinez said. Some of the solutions proposed during the meeting were adoption of a safe parking lot, or asking churches or businesses if their willing to offer up their space for overnight RV parking.
The ordinance was rejected and will return to the city council when more information and options are put together by city staff.“There's a lot of suffering out here. We see it every day. We take it home, we try not to but you can't help it," Cardona said."We need more services and more resources. More housing built. These are people that have feelings and emotions and they need the help.
