DESCRIPTION:The Freedom Sleepers will be sleeping at City Hall again tonight. Please 
 join us!\n\nMany people are being driven out in to the rain and their 
 belongings taken by Rangers and Police. This must stop. Freedom Sleeper 
 Abbi Samuels was arrested last week filming the police forcing those 
 sleeping under the City Hall awning to move out into the rain. As you can 
 imagine trying to stay warm and finding a way to dry one's blankets after 
 spending the night standing in the rain. \n\nThere is also a All-In: A 
 Community Seeks Solutions to Homelessness meeting at tonight at 6:00 at the 
 Santa Cruz Public Libraries - Downtown Branch, 224 Church St, Santa 
 Cruz\n\nOther Freedom Sleepers events this week\nWednesday, April 19, 2017

 Sleepers Movie\nAmerican Tin Cannery #209, 150 Ocean View Blvd, Pacific 
 Grove\n\nThere are solutions to ending homelessness in Santa Cruz but city 
 and county leaders do not have the political will to take the steps needed. 
 Today's Santa Cruz Sentinel reports on the Bob Lee Partnership for 
 Accountability Connection and Treatment program or PACT.\n\n"PACT 
 participants represent “a small subset of the local homeless population 
 that tends to have a high proportion of arrests, citations and use of 
 emergency medical services,” according to the evaluators."\n\n"In the 
 year before they joined the program, the 153 people reached by PACT 
 accumulated 1,531 citations, 458 ambulance runs, 545 emergency room visits 
 at Dominican Hospital, 1,054 jail bookings and 7,165 nights in jail. These 
 services cost $1.99 million."\n\n"Some 25 percent of the citations were for 
 sleeping outdoors, 16 percent for open containers of alcohol, and 8 percent 
 for smoking in no-smoking zone. Other citations were for remaining on bus 
 or park property after being asked to leave and sitting or lying on a 
 sidewalk."\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2017/04/18/18798522.php
