St. Paul is set to clear homeless encampments starting next month, beginning with Pig’s Eye Park on August 5th, citing public health and safety as priorities. City officials aim to connect residents with shelter before winter, but social service groups warn the closures will disrupt vital outreach, risking delayed aid and worsening health crises like frostbite. With over 800 emergency calls logged at camps last year, the city has allocated $1 million for new shelter beds—though Ramsey County currently only has 500 available, raising doubts about capacity. The mayor’s office promises continued follow-up, but critics question whether the plan can truly meet the urgent needs of displaced individuals.
