City officials said a crisis declaration would streamline current policies and procedures to shorten the time it takes to build interim housing or safe parking and sleeping sites, from years to months.
"This is an emergency, we have to move with all haste to build safe, dignified alternatives to encampments," said Mahan. Added Cohen, "As a council it’s our obligation to get barriers out of the way. To make sure we can do things as quickly as possible."
Some formally unhoused residents point to success, such as last week’s opening of the Arena Hotel to be used to house the unhoused, as a path to success. But some critics charge the city is sounding the alarms, after the firestorm of homelessness has grown too big.
