Savannah Mayor Van Johnson made a request when he supported an urban camping ordinance earlier this year—the city must provide an update on its impacts after 90 days. Now, the data is in.
Savannah Police have made 15 arrests and issued 179 citations under the ordinance, which banned camping activities on public spaces since its passage on June 12, according to statistics provided at a city council workshop Thursday. Of those 179 people, about 75% have interacted with the community’s homeless service network.
