CA City Pays Homeless People $18,000 To Leave Public Park

  • The City of Sausalito was so desperate to remove 30 homeless people from its Marinship Park that it recently awarded each person $18,000 to leave.
  • City officials declared a state of emergency over the homeless camp that occupied the field and the tennis courts at the park, according to KRON4.
  • The city closed the park, cleared everyone out, and is planning to clean it up. But the City of Sausalito reached a settlement with a group representing the encampment, the Sausalito Homeless Union, agreeing to pay each qualifying camper a one-time $18,000 stipend to find alternative housing elsewhere, according to San Francisco news site SFist.com.
