COUNCIL HOMELESS ORDINANCE

If passed as written now, the new ordinance would make it unlawful for people to store personal belongings on public streets, alleys or sidewalks, unless otherwise permitted.

Councilwoman Nicole George (D-21) is one of the sponsors of an ordinance that she says "cleans up" an existing ordinance centered around camping in Louisville parks and blocking public ways.

Louisville's homeless centers are building transitional housing to help get people off the streets, thanks to federal funding.
