After a long court hearing, public officials and homeless advocates have reached an agreement on providing for homeless people who are being evicted from an encampment in a Southern California riverbed.
Orange County officials say they will provide as many as 400 vouchers for monthlong stays in motels and find hundreds more beds where people to stay while social workers seek to help them find permanent housing. The sides agreed that the encampment would be allowed to remain for another week while the homeless are relocated.
U.S. District Judge David O. Carter has temporarily blocked the county from arresting tent-dwellers solely for refusing to move.
The lawsuit is being watched by homeless advocates in West Coast cities and elsewhere amid a rise in homelessness and growth of encampments.

I went from having 1000 employees, to being broke and without a home, due to circumstances extraordinary; and I understand how people can get backed into a corner.
Then, I wish, that we could trade the Trump family and his misogynist or pedo buddies, over for Syrian homeless
Wishing they would go away, doesn't solve the problem.
