The business community is advocating for more effective solutions and immediate action to manage the visible presence of homeless individuals, which they argue is deterring customers and affecting their business environment. The city council is considering various strategies, including increased funding for shelters and support services, as well as exploring new ordinances to manage public spaces more effectively. The dialogue between the business sector and city officials underscores a broader community effort to find sustainable solutions to homelessness in Spokane.
