Option B is preferable, but it would be better if more than one person with lived experience was involved.

To Whom It May Concern,
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the prior rulings on homelessness (evictions and incarcerations of homeless campers. I am a homeless person myself experiencing the oppression felt thereof.
I do not support the new laws and statutes that allow local law enforcement to evict nor incarcerate the homeless because of a long list of negative impacts on our whole community that it will create, as demonstrated in the statistical research in the attached report done by the national homeless coalition organization. Another reason is my experience being evicted and threatened to be incarcerated and the constant anxiety and distress that it causes me; as well as all the other homeless people that I know.
I urge the agency to incorporate my suggested modifications and to look for other options which I am willing to work with the city to find solutions other than this inhumane approach.
Sincerely, [Nicole Hopkins /Homeless in Yuba city California]
p.s resource list is located at the bottom.
Criminalization encompasses laws and ordinances that prohibit and punish for sleeping, sitting, and asking for donations or sheltering themselves w/ anything such as blankets tarps or other life-sustaining activities unavoidable to unhoused people.
There is Zero evidence that criminalization reduces homelessness, even though criminalization has been practiced since the 1990's by numerous cities.
Encampment clearance is used to eliminate the visibility of homelessness from public space and as a tool of temporarily removal in response to a complaint.
Property is seized or destroyed during the enforcement of encampment evictions (such as driver’s license, medications, work reference letters, Diploma, phones, clothes needed for work or job interview, bus passes, bike or bike parts needed for transportation. and these most be replaced causing more economic problems.
Criminalization and discrimination can further marginalize them and make it harder to find stable housing.
Encampment residents continue to experience homelessness even after encampment removal.
The inability to access private property or a safe place where one can legally dwell keeps one in constant anxiety and risk of future enforcement. This produces a sequence of criminal justice contact that is more powerful than the sum of its parts - that deepens suffering, poverty, and perpetuates homelessness.
Displacement can disrupt social networks and push people into more isolated areas as they seek to avoid future law enforcement encounters.
Displacement or jail time severs ties with and undermines trust in service providers, such as police counselors, etc.
Using law enforcement on homeless people diverts them from doing their real jobs and in turn crime increases
Enforcement results can go into a criminal record ( arrest for trespassing, etc. ), which complicates access for future housing.
Those who are detained due to enforcement measures may lose a job, all their possessions and are released usually with nowhere to go.
All this also contributes to social stigma and division within communities

HERES SOME MORE FACTS YOU DIDN'T KNOW:
-Increased cost in law enforcement, health care, public services, and emergency shelters.
-The risk of disease increases such as staff, etc.
-Enforcement is expensive! After spending 20.6 Billion in 2015 a San Francisco budget analyses concluded that "The current enforcement measures are just too expensive."
-Cities from Spokane to Denver may spend millions enforcing ordinances that criminalize homeless people.
-Higher rates of chronic illness, mental health issues and more statistics reveal a shorter life expectancy.
Not only are these practices immoral and inhumane. If a person is aware that criminalization depletes life or oppresses an individual and still practices the same action upon that person then that is attempted murder no matter how you look at it. And turning heads and pretending it’s not real or being in denial about it is accessory to murder either way.
We need to stop evicting and incarcerating the homeless.
We have a duty as human beings to be more humane towards each other, to take into an account what it's like to have the shoe on the other foot. This is how we practice Unity.
Unity is best described as Loving Your Neighbor As Yourself.
Never letting anyone go no matter what the benefit may seem to be, to do so is to live like the savage beast.
And I ask; if we both go into the ground what makes anyone more superior than the other?
But to criminalize the homeless people; It is a cruel and unusual punishment; and we should never cross that line!
There are solutions. But how can we find solutions if we are looking with judgements or stereotypes? The fastest solution available is usually never the correct one. We need to have a full understanding. Perhaps look at it from a different angle- such as from a homeless persons perspective & we need their experience; Especially under their oppressed circumstances.
