In almost 15 years as a Redding California homeless advocate I have never seen such a radical pre cleansing and removal of homeless before a Point in Time survey as I have today.
The downtown covered parking lot for months had dozens of homeless inside... Gone.
The Shasta County Library homeless population whittled down to almost nothing.
Henderson open space cleaned and swept of homeless several times just prior to Point in Time survey.
In the last couple of mornings few homeless could be seen and those who were downtown wandering in the rain dragging or covered by a wet blanket rousted im sure by Redding Police .

Most homeless that do remain and are hiding refuse to participate knowing if they do afterwards their camps will be raided and KRCR News Channel 7 will be right there as well to take all multitudes of garbage pictures one can imagine.
.
History reveals their fears to be reality.
Sadly KRCR TV. like others I believe is totally and completely in bed with this diabolical City of Redding scheme, and their news stories covering them have been brutal.
Why cut yourselves from funding that Redding has needed for homeless solutions for years?
Can we expect more of this from our Police Chief Bill Schuller ?
