7 <br />B. It Is Unclear What Kind of Shelter Must Be <br />Available <br />The Ninth Circuit's opinion also provides precious <br />little guidance as to what sort of accommodations must <br />be provided at a shelter in order to "qualify" as a true <br />alternative to violating a public camping ordinance. <br />Perhaps the most basic question is whether the <br />shelters must be indoors. This is of immediate <br />practical concern to amicus San Clemente. Seeking to <br />comply with the decision below, San Clemente adopted <br />an emergency ordinance designating a city -owned lot <br />as a camping site where anti -camping ordinances <br />would not be enforced.4 The City contracted for a <br />decomposed granite floor covering, lighting and <br />fencing, and bathroom facilities for the homeless <br />population to use while at the site.5 The City also <br />provides security, including cameras and a security <br />guards In addition, City staff have coordinated with <br />a homeless -outreach service provider to make regular <br />visits to the site to offer various social services.? The <br />City's objective is to ensure that the homeless have a <br />place to sleep without violating the law —such that the <br />City's ordinances may be constitutionally enforced in <br />the rest of the City. <br />4 See Request for Judicial Notice at 9-14, Housing Is a Human <br />Right Orange Cty. et al. a.
