Homelessness
Residents have reported an increase in trespassing and aggressive panhandling from homeless residents. We want to show compassion and also want to ensure everyone is kept safe.
About 100 people sleep at Bayfront Park and they will close at 9AM, we can presume the homeless will venture towards our area. One problem is “solved” at Bayfront Park but on the other end a problem will be created because the unsheltered will enter a highly residential urban scape.
Commander Ellington stated that homelessness is not a crime but aggressive panhandling can be reported. If you see an issue or if a homeless person needs help please contact the police department to report. Commander Ellington and her team will offer services to the individual and do their best to help them. Individuals are allowed to decline services.
Commander Ellington is coordinating with the Bayfront Park Trust to coordinate efforts and offer unsheltered residents services.
Commissioner Russell, stated he will advocate on behalf of our community when it comes to the changes coming to Bayfront Park. He also stated we should attend the upcoming City of Miami Budget Hearings.
