Downtown merchants push for accountability in homelessness plan
Downtown merchants expressed frustration with the city task force on homelessness citing lack of accountability and calls for ground checks, penalties, and single-site services. They worry the plan will simply increase city funding without real changes, while officials defend consensus driven recommendations. The task force holds a closed all day retreat at Riverfront Plaza with a separate merchants coalition planning its own submission to the City Commission.
