COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO -- For three hours community members got the chance to talk to the Colorado Springs City Council before they made their vote. City council members did pass the No Camping ordinance by a vote of 8-1.

By passing the ordinance it goes into a second reading in two weeks. If it passes the second reading it will then take another two weeks to be written into law.

The Homeless Outreach Team tells FOX21 News that homeless campers have a month to figure out what they're going to do ,and for the next month the Homeless Outreach Team will be going around camps trying to help those campers. 

The team says once the law goes into effect, if a homeless person is camping, they will get a warning and a suggestion on what shelter is available. They have 48 hours to get into a shelter and if they don't, they'll get a ticket.

City council tells FOX21 News this ordinance will not apply if the shelters are full. Reporters got reaction from both sides right after city council voted to pass the ordinance.

"It's a tool that we can use, a good tool that will help bridge that gap and that's what it's been about since the beginning, us going into the camps to bridge that gap from the homeless to the service providers. This is just a tool to help us do that,” said officer Brett Iberson, Homeless Outreach Team.

"Discouraged, dishearten, not knowing where to turn next, not knowing where I'm going to go if they push it and we have to leave the city where? I’m at a loss and somebody answer my questions, where are we going to go?” said Charles Ross, homeless camper.

According to the Pikes Peak Justice and Peace Commission, the city is currently 450 beds short, based on the current number of homeless.
