Fargo city officials propose a plan to address homelessness, including a camping ban near bike trails and critical infrastructure, with a focus on long-term permanent housing.

Fargo city officials have proposed a new plan to address homelessness, including a ban on camping within 30 feet of bike trails and 100 feet of critical infrastructure like bridges. A "Fargo Streets to Housed" pilot program is in development alongside the proposal. While temporarily relocating homeless camps, the city emphasizes that the long-term solution is to provide permanent housing, as merely enforcing a "no camping" ordinance is insufficient.
