Westchester County's Department of Social Services coordinates encampment outreach and sanitation responses through its Homeless Outreach team, partnering with municipal police and the county Coordinated Entry system rather than relying on enforcement-first sweeps.
The Westchester County Department of Social Services Homeless Outreach team conducts proactive engagement with persons living unsheltered along Hudson River parkways, Bronx River corridor, and downtown commercial districts. Outreach offers same-day shelter placement through Coordinated Entry, transportation, and case management. Sanitation cleanups follow a posted-notice protocol of at least 72 hours, with personal property stored for 30 days at a designated county facility. Municipal police support outreach but do not lead sweeps. Encampment locations on private property are referred to the property owner with the county providing relocation assistance to occupants.
Failing to vacate after 72-hour notice may trigger trespass charges, but personal property must be stored for 30-day reclamation by the county.
