It is now legal for a property owner to invite a homeless person to <br />locate one vehicle or tent on their property. A business, public agency, or religious <br />institution may invite up to three campers on their property. In each case, sanitation <br />must be provided and rent may not be charged. The City of Eugene has made 15 <br />spaces available for homeless camping. The faith community, the school district, and <br />local businesses have since provided many additional spaces. As a result of this and <br />other intervention strategies, the number of police citations for illegal on-street camping <br />has decreased. <br /> <br />Transitional Housing and Services <br />Transitional housing and service resources attempt to facilitate the movement of <br />homeless families and individuals to permanent housing within a 24-month time frame. <br />Services associated with transitional housing are intended to overcome issues, which <br />contribute to homelessness. Services include referrals to case management, substance <br />abuse treatment, short-term mental health services, and for independent life skills <br />training. This component in the Continuum of Care plan is one of the most critical and <br />yet it has the most limited capacity. Transitional supportive housing is composed of the <br />following projects: <br /> <br />Facility/Agency Beds Type <br />Sponsors 36 Ex-offenders <br />ShelterCare/Royal Avenue 40 Chronically mentally ill <br />Shelter <br />ShelterCare/SafeHaven 12 Street homeless with chronic mental <br /> illness <br />Centro LatinoAmericano 22 Shelter for Latino men and veterans <br />Catholic Community Services 7 7 units of single room occupancy (SRO) <br /> for homeless singles <br />Total 117 Single Transitional Beds <br /> <br /> <br />
