The Safer Kentucky Act, which bans street camping, has been in effect for almost one month. 비바카지노 Viva investigated its impact so far.Since then, LMPD says they have made four arrests and issued 10 citations for street camping. An LMPD spokesperson, John Bradley, says before any arrest or citation, warnings to comply are given, and LMPD is assisted by members of Metro's Homeless Services to offer the person transportation and/or shelter options. He adds some of these instances had other mitigating factors, such as additional criminal charges.Two individuals were arrested and charged with fleeing and evading as well as unlawful street camping. Two other individuals were arrested and charged with failure to comply with officers맥스카지노� instructions and unlawful street camping, according to the Mayor's Office."Metro맥스카지노�s Homeless Services team continues to provide outreach to people experiencing homelessness every day, offering referrals to treatment and transportation to emergency shelters," said Kevin Trager, press secretary for the Mayor's Office. "If someone continues to block access to sidewalks, bus stops, and other public spaces, or attempts to run from police, LMPD will enforce the law. We hope that by creating thousands of new, affordable housing units, plus the emergency family shelter at the Community Care Campus, which will open later this year, we can provide even more options for people experiencing homelessness going forward."The Coalition for the Homeless spokesperson, Catherine McGeeney, says on any given night, about 600 people are unsheltered. The Coalition, along with the ACLU of Kentucky, have been vocal against the new law. "And we think that citations that people can't afford to pay won't actually solve this problem," she said. "So we think not only is it cruel, but it's ineffective.""I think we need to address the root causes of why people find themselves unhoused," said Kungu Njuguna, a policy strategist with the ACLU of Kentucky. "Mental health, substance use disorders, better-paying jobs, all of those things help this community truly be safer." Rep. Jared Bauman was a sponsor of the Safer Kentucky Act. "We drafted this bill to help the city of Louisville, to help the people that choose to live here, to help the people that visit here, to help business owners, to help property owners, but most importantly, to help those people that are living on the street," he said. He says other sponsors of the law met with the Mayor's Office to discuss how it's going so far."And, so I'm excited for the future," he said. "I think the law is working as intended. And again, we're in the very early stages."The Wayside Christian Mission is one of the only shelters that has beds available on a daily basis at their low-barrier shelter. However, family shelters are full. Nina Moseley, the chief operating officer at Wayside, says she hasn't seen the impact yet. "There are still a lot of folks camping on the street, which has been against the law in Louisville for a long time," she said. "The thing is, if you have laws, you have to follow the laws. But the laws balance rights. There is no right to camp on the street whatsoever. But there are people in Louisville that are going to camp someplace. So, if we don't want them camping on the sidewalks, we need to provide a place. We need to say this is the designated place."LMPD says they are continuing to work through how the processes will flow.
