Homeless individuals are allowed to be in public places, and they are not breaking any laws solely by being in a public place. It’s never acceptable for anyone to break any laws, however, it is not a crime to be homeless, and homeless individuals have the same rights as any other resident. If anyone is dumping trash, or interfering with your use of a park, path, sidewalks, or other facility, contact the Sebastopol Police at 707-829-4400.
