The size and number of homeless camps in the city increased during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to KOIN 6. Officials did not remove any camps from March to July 2020, then picked up operations in a limited capacity, targeting areas where the biggest health and safety risks were identified in accordance with Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and local guidelines.
