Federal judge: Consider relocating Santa Cruz homeless camp – Santa Cruz Sentinel
SANTA CRUZ — A federal district court has ordered the City of Santa Cruz and a group of homeless-rights advocates to discuss a proposal to relocate a large encampment inside a city park. The court order comes in the midst of a civil rights lawsuit filed on behalf of the Santa Cruz Homeless Union and several citizens reportedly living unsheltered in San Lorenzo Park. In January, Northern District U.S. District Court Magistrate Judge Susan van Keulen ordered the city to temporarily hold off on its plans to displace the homeless encampment, largely due to concerns about distributing the large population during the coronavirus pandemic, she wrote.
