Last year, Representative Reagan Dunn proposed legislation that would give the sheriff’s office authority to move into these wooded areas and clear encampments if shelter beds were available. Dunn introduced a new bill today, hoping for a different outcome. Dunn’s new pilot program would form an interagency task force responsible for cleaning up current and future encampments. That also includes connecting the homeless residents with shelter and services. “Unless you are willing to show some types of tough love in the homeless battle, you’re never going to get anywhere,” says Dunn.
