A new multi-department public safety initiative launched in January targets the East Lancaster corridor (bounded by Cypress Street and East Presidio Street) to sustainably address illegal street camping, violent crime, and homelessness, following a November 2025 large-scale cleanup by the HOPE Unit and partner city departments. The initiative is a collaborative effort among HOPE, Central Patrol, Central Bikes, Homeless Strategies, Environmental Services, and community outreach partners.
