Will a public sleeping ban lead to local tent cities?

State Sen. Nick DiCeglie has a unique perspective on rapidly advancing legislation that requires local governments to ban the homeless from sleeping on public property.

DiCeglie is also the CEO of Hope Villages of America (HVA), a Clearwater-based nonprofit that helps find and provide stable housing for unsheltered families. The companion bills, vocally endorsed by Gov. Ron DeSantis, would allow local governments to move homeless people off the streets and into designated homeless camps with security, sanitation and behavioral health services.
