Berkeley Homeless Union seeks contempt ruling over encampment sweep
Original: Berkeley Homeless Union seeks contempt ruling against city over Harrison encampment sweep
The Berkeley Homeless Union is asking a court to hold the city of Berkeley in contempt over its clearing of a homeless encampment on Harrison Street. The move suggests the union believes the sweep violated a prior court order or agreement protecting encampment residents, escalating a legal dispute between homeless advocates and the city over how Berkeley handles unsanctioned camps.
Why now: The legal challenge escalates ongoing conflict between homeless advocates and Berkeley officials over encampment clearings.
