A pilot program is being prepared to permanently end some entrenched homeless camps. The program aims to "decommission" these camps through increased engagement before and after cleanup. This approach is a response to the repeated cleanup of the same sites, with over 1,300 camp cleanups, or "abatements," occurring each year.

There are more than 30 sites that are regularly cleared, only for people to return. The city hopes to understand the circumstances of people in these encampments and provide alternative solutions. Further details about the program are available from the source.

The program's specifics, such as its launch date and the sites involved, are not provided in the initial information.
