Posted By Iridian Casarez on Wed, Dec 30, 2020 at 5:40 PM The city of Eureka has halted enforcement on a camping ordinance that was set to take effect tonight at midnight according to a release by the Legal Services of Northern California and Disability Rights California.
The Eureka City Council passed the ordinance on Nov. 17 prohibiting involuntary camping in most parts of Eureka including business districts and high-use trail areas.
The Legal Services of Northern California along with other local organizations like the Affordable Homeless Housing Alternatives (AHHA) opposed the decision and believe that the ordinance violates recent federal court decisions and despite the fact that the City has insufficient shelter space, and are urging the city council to refrain from criminalizing homelessness.
