Community leaders plan relocation of homeless camp in Blue Lake

During a recent meeting of the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors, discussions highlighted ongoing efforts to address homelessness in the region. A key focus was on a specific homeless camp that has raised concerns due to its unsafe and unsanitary conditions.

Supervisor Jeremy Mullins reported on his direct involvement in the area, noting that he had visited the site and observed the challenges faced by individuals living there. He emphasized the need for immediate action, stating that efforts are underway to relocate these individuals to safer environments where they can access necessary services. Mullins expressed optimism that by Sunday, a plan would be in place to assist those affected.

Additionally, Mullins praised the collaboration with local families and community members, specifically mentioning the King and Mariah family, who are also engaged in the relocation efforts. He suggested that the Sheriff’s Department could provide support by assigning an officer to work closely with the community, enhancing the effectiveness of their outreach.

This initiative reflects a broader commitment by the Board to tackle homelessness in Humboldt County, aiming to connect vulnerable populations with essential resources and support systems. As these efforts progress, the community remains hopeful for positive outcomes that prioritize safety and well-being for all residents.
