Quick Glance: Florida to Prohibit Homeless Camping on Public Property
- Florida is set to prohibit homeless individuals from establishing camps or sleeping on public property through a legislative proposal sent to Republican Governor Ron DeSantis.
- As per the bill passed by the Senate with a 27-12 vote late Tuesday, counties could designate areas for homeless camping for up to a year, subject to approval from the State Department of Children and Families. The use of these encampments would come with a ban on alcohol or illegal drug consumption.
- Advocates believe that the legislation will address the issue of homeless individuals residing on public property and in parks. They contend that consolidating homeless individuals in one area will facilitate the provision of local services.
- Conversely, critics view the bill as merely an attempt to round up homeless individuals and remove them from public visibility. They also raise concerns about the lack of provisions in the legislation to prevent sexual offenders and children from residing in close proximity in the government-designated encampments, or to ensure the safety and hygiene of these encampments.
