San Francisco clears city's largest homeless camp

Fresno Bee
City officials who cleared San Francisco's largest homeless camp this week are trying a new approach to keep its former residents from returning: sending them to a triage center where they can stay while counselors try to arrange housing, drug treatment and other services. Police officers, cleanup crews and counselors swept through the encampment under an Interstate 280 on-ramp near the Caltrain station Monday, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.
