Houseless encampment cleared despite city memo Dec 15, 2020 | 2 steven@proteanmag.com It appears that lack of adequate coordination and communication between departments in the city of Dallas government has resulted in the displacement of an encampment of houseless individuals in Craddock Park less than two weeks after an official memo announced a halt of all “encampment resolution” efforts by the Office of Homeless Solutions in the month of December. The announcement that the city would temporarily halt these “encampment resolution efforts” came amidst a surge in COVID-19 cases across the state. In order to reduce community spread, city officials said on Dec. 4 that the city would begin following CDC guidance, which recommends not dispersing encampments if adequate housing options are not available.
