Of course, this doesn't solve everything, but it's a good step. It is not going to cause an influx of homeless from CA. They are getting services in CA. No one wants to come to Bend and freeze in the winter with the hope of a shelter.

You can't keep giving to people without making them responsible. Everyone should have drug tests. Everyone should have to "give back" in some way. Either by getting a job, or volunteering to the community.

I pay enough in taxes, most of the homeless want to be homeless, they get paid for doing nothing.

Only solves a portion of the real issue of mental health and alcohol and drug issues. Plus there is the concern that an influx of more homeless flooding up from the California, to get free services they are not getting there.

you must fix policy, not throw money at it. When you decriminalize hard drugs and sleeping on streets and let hard criminals out of jail it all adds up.

Oregon keeps throwing good money after bad, will not help. Recriminalize drugs , fund and respect police and how about having the homeless work..keep their camps clean, parks, other civic projects, require recurring drug tests.

Throwing good money after bad. Bring back crimalization of drugs, fund and respect for police, have the homeless work even if just cleaning their own camps, parks, etc, drug tests on a regular basis.

I think the city does to much for homeless that never lived in Bend or anywhere in Oregon some are here for the free ride provided by the city of bend at taxpayers expensive We need a new city council

In my opinion, the city of Bend waited too long to take action in regard to the huge homeless situation. Hunnell Rd. is a perfect example. As soon as broken down motorhomes and trash showed up it should have been dealt with. It's so out of control it will be almost impossible to properly address.

Create and distribute a flyer that lists other cities where the handouts are better then here (if there are any). Or at least locations that have the same great level of services but have better weather. Those who want help will stay, many of those who prefer this life style will move on.

No reasonable long term solutions...only an endless game of Wack-a-Mole chasing the homeless from one location to another. The homeless are being treated like a bunch of lepers that residents with housing hope will go away. Good luck with that.....more homeless are coming with the good weather.

Maybe by making it more enjoyable. Being homeless use to be a hardship now it's like a permeant vacation where someone else pays.

Actually no city in OR is doing enough to address this, their solution is just to throw good money after bad. Try bring back accountablity, recrimilize drugs , respect law enforcement, etc
