Lane County Commissioners voted to start an overnight homeless camping/parking pilot program in the River Road corridor. The Register-Guard article this morning explains the program.
More specific details can be found in the Lane County memorandum dated November 13. The following is from the November 13 memorandum.
How it works: A faith community, business, non-profit organization or government office notifies the program coordinator that it wishes to invite a homeless family or individual to stay overnight on their parking lot. The host will work with the program coordinator to establish rules and expectations for the vehicle camper. Vehicle campers call the OPP for an interview appointment to discuss their needs. Applicants may be asked to agree to a criminal background check. The camper may be assigned a parking location at this time or be put on a waiting list. The program coordinator then makes the best possible matches, selecting campers based on the criteria established by a host facility. Once a match is made and both parties agree to terms and conditions for the stay, the OPP arranges sanitation services for the location and on-going site management begins.
