Hennepin County coordinates encampment outreach through the Twin Cities Continuum of Care, with cleanup operations led by Minneapolis Public Works for city-owned land and Hennepin County for parks and county facilities. Notice and outreach precede most clearings, though encampments in active rights-of-way can be cleared with shorter notice.
Hennepin County funds outreach through partners including Catholic Charities, Avivo, and St. Stephen's Human Services. Encampments on Minneapolis Park land trigger 72-hour written notice followed by social-service connection attempts; encampments on highway rights-of-way along I-94 and I-35W get MnDOT clearance with shorter notice. The Twin Cities Continuum of Care, jointly run with Ramsey County, coordinates housing placement during clearings. Hennepin County's Office to End Homelessness publishes encampment status updates. Belongings stored 60 days for retrieval before disposal.
Encampment occupants receive outreach offers and shelter referrals before any clearing. Refusal does not trigger criminal penalties typically; remaining belongings are stored and noticed for retrieval.
