A new law goes into effect Oct. 1 that prohibits homeless encampments in public spaces and aims to address the problem of homelessness, forcing the City of Gainesville and Alachua County to respond.

On Thursday, GPD released the bodycam footage of a K9 attack on a homeless woman, following an internal investigation.

Gov. Ron DeSantis on Wednesday signed a controversial bill designed to prevent homeless people from sleeping in public places.

After multiple public records requests and phone calls with the city, no one could confirm the exact number of people who have used the shelter in recent years.

Gainesville city officials are discussing what to do with what they call houseless people that they are moving off Southeast 4th Place.

Florida SB 1530 would ban people from sleeping in public spaces. If approved, local governments would be required to create safe areas where people could legally stay.
