Fresno to Pay $2.3 Million in Homeless Persons' Class Action Settlement


This is a settlement for the Civil / Human Rights lawsuit.

The city of Fresno, CA, will pay $2.3 million settlement in a class action suit brought against it by homeless residents of the city. The suit alleged that the city's clean-up the streets policy violated the fourteenth amendment rights of the homeless citizenry, which provides for due process, and protection against unreasonable searches and seizures. During the sweeps, homeless people who were not present had their personal possession destroyed immediately.
