| Santa Cruz City Council creates a new 50-bed homeless camp in a Washington Street parking lot by Depot Park. The new camp will be managed, and will have rules, such as no drugs or criminal activity. We hear from the owner of Perrigo’s Auto Body Shop, who says the camp will destroy his business. Also, what you need to know about the council’s homeless shelter crisis declaration. |
The homeless camp near Depot Park is scheduled to open by April 17. (Imagery, map data copyright 2019 Google)
