Homeless Outreach Street Team Weekly Report

HOST made 35 contacts and offered services to 21 individuals, 10 accepted service. HOST tagged five camps and cleaned up five. HOST conducted 8 downtown patrols.

This week, the Community Enhancement Specialist (CES) engaged with local residents and businesses to highlight the importance of promptly reporting illegal dumping. Quick reporting helps deter repeat offenses, particularly in locations previously targeted multiple times.

The CES recommended reviewing surveillance footage in affected areas and encouraged immediate reporting of any suspicious or illegal activity. In addition, the CES coordinated with Parking Enforcement to address known locations of abandoned or inoperable vehicles. This effort aims to reduce illegal dumping, prevent the development of homeless encampments, and support a safer, cleaner community environment.
