Unhoused people in French Quarter given notice: “24 hours” to clear out
SUMMARY: Tensions are rising between city and state leaders over how to manage the unhoused population. Recently, notices were distributed in the French Quarter, giving people 24 hours to leave due to violations related to their presence. These actions are part of Governor Landry’s upcoming homeless sweeps, following previous encampment clearances downtown. City Council member Leslie Harris criticized the state’s approach, stating it disrupts city plans and has resulted in case managers losing contact with over 63 unhoused individuals who were near housing solutions. A judge had previously issued a temporary restraining order against the state’s plan, which is now lifted.
A disagreement between city and state leaders over how to handle the city’s unhoused population is flaring again.
