Santa Cruz City Council reschedules the closure of a homeless camp at River Street and Highway 1.

This time it’s set for April 17, and it’s supposed to coincide with the reopening of the nearby 1220 River Street homeless camp. The city also pinpoints six sites for another homeless camp, which will be discussed at a special March 19 meeting. We visit the current camp and talk with homeless people about conditions there, and possible solutions.

We’ve posted the transcript below.

Charles Stange, 37, from Berkeley, has been living in the Ross homeless camp for a few weeks. He speaks about how he keeps his tent, at left, dry in the rain. (Kara Meyberg Guzman — Santa Cruz Local)
