There's a bill in committee in the state senate that "1. Permits an individual experiencing homelessness to conduct life sustaining activities in public ... unless adequate alternative indoor space is available to the individual in a given jurisdiction and has been offered to the individual, including transportation for the individual and their belongings. ..."

Last night, a resolution (Shané Darby) passed in Wilm City Council calling for a "halt [of] any forced removal or closure of the Christina Park encampment ... until a comprehensive, humane, and adequately funded transition plan is fully operational.

Public comments were many, strong, and inspiring. However, the resolution has no teeth. The mayor will do what he wants. 2/3

Delaware has an affordable housing shortage, and it's most visible in Wilmington, Dover, and Georgetown. https://spotlightdelaware.org/tag/homelessness/
The mayor of Wilmington decided to make "camping" illegal everywhere but one city park (in an underserved area, of course), and in mid-May, he gave notice that come June 15, "camping" there would become illegal, too. How convenient that now everyone is in one place. 1/3
