[ARCHIVED] Update on Encampment at Fremont Park

News Alert

Last week, the City took measures to address immediate fire threats caused by encampments in areas of Fremont Park. Park maintenance crews secured these areas of the park, and outreach and notification were provided to individuals residing in these areas. Catholic Charities’ Homeless Outreach Services Team (HOST) was successful in engaging 25 individuals located in the encampments into services, including placement at the City’s Samuel L. Jones Hall Homeless Shelter, Safe Social Distancing Program at Finley, hotel rooms, and permanent housing.

Though a portion of the park is now secured to mitigate the fire threat, the City is aware that many individuals remain in other areas of Fremont Park. Given the growing size of the encampment, the City has placed two additional portable toilets and a handwashing station as well as a debris bin at the park to provide increased access to sanitary facilities in accordance with the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) guidance. HOST will continue to engage individuals residing in the park over the next couple weeks to encourage individuals to transition to safe, secure and healthy options for shelter. The City’s Homeless Encampment Assistance Program (HEAP) team continues to works toward solutions to address homelessness at Fremont Park and across the City. More information on these efforts will be provided soon. For more information on the City’s efforts to address homelessness amid the public health emergency, can be found HERE
