An operating protocol within the mayor's administrative authority; due process and constitutional limits are legally reviewed.
The problem
Clearing an encampment with no notice and nowhere to go doesn't solve homelessness — it scatters it, destroys people's belongings, and shatters any trust the city has built.
The plan
Before any city action at an encampment, outreach teams will engage for 72 hours: learning residents' names, offering shelter and services, and working toward voluntary moves to better options.
The protocol requires documented offers of help and a clear record of engagement — enforcement without outreach is not an option.
How you’ll know it’s working
- Protocol compliance rate at encampment engagements
- Offers of shelter and services documented
- Voluntary placements before any city action
- Resident-reported treatment during engagements
- Belongings and property handled with care
From the Blueprint
- Day 1: visit, offer, document. Day 2: follow-up, reaffirm, offer transport. Day 3: final offer, document refusals.
- Enforcement is legally blocked until the 72 hours pass and offers are documented — no shortcuts.
- Cleanup happens only after 72 hours, only if a safety hazard exists, and only when no one remains.
- Solid Waste and Parks handle cleanup after offers and transitions; police play a safety support role only.
- Timeline: protocol and legal framework in days 0–60; team training in days 60–90.
Never enforce without having offered a real pathway first.
