Santa Rosa, West End neighbors discuss plans to clear Sixth Street homeless camp City officials and homeless outreach workers met with neighbors at the De Turk Round Barn to explain the city’s new approach calling for the camp’s breakup. The project is currently underway and it is anticipated that the camp will be cleaned by October 16th. Although there was information about the proposed 6th Street Homeless Camp cleanup pilot program, many neighbors felt that their questions and concerns about the effects on our neighborhood were not addressed.
