I think we all realize just how tough it is to clear homeless camps from the freeway, and only kicking people out doesn't work. Just a year into the new right-of-way initiative, we're starting to get an idea of just how hard it is.
I think we all realize just how tough it is to clear homeless camps from the freeway, and only kicking people out doesn’t work. Just a year into the newSweeping camps and kicking people out is one way of tackling the problem, but those people come back, or they just move somewhere else. It doesn’t solve the root issue of where they are going to go.The state switched up its tactics last year, making sure that the people had someplace to go before those camps were cleared.
Colin DeForrest is the Homeless Response Manager at the Washington Department of Transportation. He told the commission the state is focusing on the biggest camps first, in King, Pierce, Snohomish, Thurston, and Spokane Counties. “This is a great example of why this is so very important that we do this work because we all know what happens with fires and propane tanks,” DeForrest said. “There is nothing good that comes of that.”
WSDOT assistant secretary Mike Gribner said people accept or deny the housing help depending on what kind of housing it is. Some don’t want dormitory-style housing, and many are concerned about their stuff.
