The Wichita City Council will vote Dec. 17 on changing local ordinances to allow for stricter homeless encampment enforcement.

Law enforcement officials say arresting homeless people for minor crimes like trespassing and vandalism will not help reduce homelessness. Experts say it will cost a lot of tax dollars and actually makes homelessness worse.

Point-in-time counts help local agencies spot gaps and allocate scarce resources. They also mobilize volunteers to break down barriers between the housed and homeless.

The bill had only one person speak in support with over 50 people testifying in opposition.
