#499 - Auburn council OKs 'tough love' ordinance for homeless who repeatedly refuse help offers

Auburn City Council members voted Monday evening to adopt a so-called “tough love” ordinance that would allow police to issue criminal trespass citations and impose fines on homeless people who repeatedly refuse offers of shelter or services from the city that could help get them off the streets.

The measure was approved by a 4-3 vote as some council members insisted that threats of incarceration would not help those experiencing homelessness.

Auburn Mayor Nancy Backus said the intent of the ordinance was not to jail offenders or saddle them with fines they cannot pay but to give them the impetus to find lodging.
