Jehl/Myers response to City statement on handling of homeless encampments

Response from Fort Wayne City Councilmen Russ Jehl (R-2nd) and Scott Myers (R-4th) to the City of Fort Wayne’s Attorney, Malak Heiny, regarding the City’s letter detailing its’ policy on handling homeless encampments.

The response is a bit of a head scratcher. By dismissing both President Trump’s and Governor Newsom’s approaches, Fort Wayne remains without a practical policy, or even a common starting point. It will be difficult to build consensus in the community and on Council if cleaning up encampments and making downtown safe again are not urgent priorities. We concur with the Administration that we all need to keep working on this issue collaboratively to ensure the best outcome for all.
