The city of Richmond Hill took its first step Tuesday toward addressing homelessness. The City Council held the first reading of a “homeless” policy and an “urban camping” ordinance regarding what it says is “improper use of public places within the city.” City Manager Chris Lovell said the city has appointed a police officer to help advise, counsel and, ultimately, help relocate a homeless person found on public property to an appropriate agency where he or she can find shelter and other needed services.
