Many Maine towns and cities are turning to policies that ignore the root causes of unsheltered homelessness and threaten unhoused residents' rights. We're seeking more information to learn about Sanford's policies and enforcement practices.
As cities like Portland forcibly displace unhoused residents, we're seeking information to learn about the policies and enforcement practices happening throughout the state, including in Sanford. Policies like camping bans harm unhoused residents, are a waste of resources that ignore the root causes of homelessness, and threaten unhoused people's constitutional rights.

In the face of rising homelessness rates, Portland has turned to cruel policies that ignore the root causes of unsheltered homelessness and threaten unhoused residents' rights.
Portland has forcibly displaced unhoused residents over the past several months with "encampment sweeps." The city's policies and practices, such as its camping ban, harm unhoused residents, are a waste of resources that ignore the root causes of homelessness, and threaten unhoused people's constitutional rights. We're demanding public records to learn more about Portland's policies, plans, and enforcement practices.
