Impact analysis
The council approved an additional $1.5 million in the upcoming budget to support the director's new programs.
Unsheltered residents would benefit from a coordinated system of shelters, treatment, and prevention instead of piecemeal responses.
Communities near growing encampments, including along Pulehu Road, say they're seeing impacts with no overall plan in place.
