(Sacramento, CA) — Caltrans is seeking millions of dollars to help clear homeless encampments across California. Giving credence to the existence of a ‘homeless industrial complex”, The California Department of Transportation is requesting more than 20-million over the next two years to remove hazardous material from encampments on its properties. It’s also asking for nearly six-million to expand its newly established Office of Homelessness and Encampments. The agency plans to hire seven employees for a new “Homeless Solutions Team” and add ten coordinators to the 20-member Caltrans team in charge of clearing encampments on its right-of-way properties.
