The homeless encampment sweeps are taking place at Gumbiner Park, Billie Jean King Main Library, Lincoln Park, Veterans Park and Jennie Rivera Memorial Park.
City crews in Long Beach are to begin clearing five problematic homeless encampments on Monday following the Supreme Court's recent ruling that local laws which restrict sleeping or camping in public places may be enforced. The sweeps are taking place at Gumbiner Park, Billie Jean King Main Library, Lincoln Park, Veterans Park and Jennie Rivera Memorial Park.
While fines and arrests are possible during the sweeps, the city promises a human-centered approach first by offering outreach and support services. Long Beach police are to use their discretion when enforcing anti-camping laws, allowing officers to focus on criminal conduct associated with encampments and chronic complaints about them.
