[Buncombe County] The Human Relations Commission of Asheville wants to know why their recommendations to City Council about homeless camp solutions have been left in limbo, including using funds to improve living conditions at known transient sites, instead of using that money to kick them off the property. As homeless encampments pop up around Buncombe County police are clearing camps in public parks and along highways, and that has the Asheville-Buncombe Homeless Coalition concerned as winter weather settles in, with temperatures expected to dip below 32 degrees this month. Asheville City Council members are expected to be greeted at their Jan. 11 meeting by homeless advocates looking for answers.
