Homeless camp cleared in midtown Sacramento. Most campers move just one block away [View all]
State Caltrans crews cleared a homeless encampment from a midtown Sacramento property Tuesday.
The clearing took place so crews could clean up used needles and human waste on the property, along 29th Street between F and H streets, said Caltrans spokeswoman Angela Daprato. The property, owned by Caltrans, is a dirt lot with trees between the Capital City Freeway and the street. Crews also cleared camps around the corner along G Street under the freeway.
Caltrans posted notices at the camp several days ago informing homeless men and women that the camp would be cleared. Those notices contained a phone number for a hotel voucher referral line that was disconnected.
Many of the roughly one dozen unhoused people who were cleared from the lot moved their tents a block north, to a dirt lot along 29th Street between E and F streets.
