City of Hamilton and community advocates have reached an agreement to end litigation over local homeless encampments.The City says both parties have agreed to appear together before the Superior Court to confirm the lifting of the July 30 injunction and withdrawal of the application which challenged City bylaws.Both parties say they also agree that encampments, which grew in size at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, are a symptom of a housing crisis that is national in scope, and that tents are not a solution to the housing challenges many experience.
There’s hope for a ‘negotiated settlement’ regarding Hamilton’s homeless encampments “The City remains committed to helping people experiencing homelessness find safer and more humane.
