trespassing, or even do jail time. Walking through downtown Auburn, you wouldn't think the city is dealing with a homelessness problem. >> I think we've managed homelessness well in Auburn. >> It's been a work in progress for years. While the city seems to have a handle on the situation, there's still several hotspots. Unhoused people are calling home. We came across this situation. A clear example of what city leaders are trying to prevent. >> The longer you leave people in the space, the more people come, the more problems you have fires cutting down trees, all those things.

A 42 to 72 hour notice is required and penalties include 90 days in jail or a $1,000 fine. The Supreme Court decision on Grants Pass versus Johnson now gives cities power to take action, in this case, making overnight camping illegal no matter what. Mayor Nancy Backus emphasized the goal is to provide assistance rather than penalize those experiencing homelessness. >> I don't think that we are going to have this huge increase in numbers of individuals who are going to be trespassed and arrest for it, unless there is repetitive behavior. >> The biggest impact is focused around the community. >> Honestly, we just give the city back its its spaces. Mayor Baggett says their approach will continue to be compassionate, yet they will hold people accountable. >> We truly do want to help individuals. There is nothing compassionate or humane about letting someone stay outside in the elements. >> Through outreach, the city says they nearly housed 100 people last year. So far this year, they're up to 135. City council has yet to vote on this amendment. This is happening September 16th, and if it passes, it
