Sebastopol helps fund a Homeless Outreach Coordinator in collaboration with West County Community Services (WCCS). The coordinator routinely contacts our homeless to register them for eligibility for housing, navigation of services, and assessment of needs. The Sebastopol Police Department works with the Outreach Coordinator to assist individuals obtain services The Sebastopol Police Department contacts homeless people daily to gain compliance with laws and we take enforcement action regularly when we observe and encounter individuals who are camping illegally, creating health hazards with illegal dumping, using or possessing illicit narcotics, possessing possible stolen property or any other form of illegal contraband and we pay particular attention to violations with vehicles leaking sewage or other fluids such as anti-freeze, oil or gas that could create a significant health or environmental hazard.
