Impact analysis
Funded from the council-approved emergency needs set-aside; testifiers questioned the cost versus using existing park infrastructure.
Roughly 45–50 people living in vehicles along Pulehu Road who currently can't meet the original pilot's requirements.
Some testifiers argued fairness concerns — taxpayers still face registration and enforcement rules the program suspends for participants.
