At today's court case in Toms River between Lakewood Township and the residents of tent city an agreement was finally reached. The leaders of tent city agreed that Lakewood is not responsible to build a homeless shelter for the tent city residents.

It was furthermore agreed that the residents would allow a census to be taken and allow county officials to try and place residents in facilitators according to their needs. If Lakewood wishes them to vacate te property they can find them adequate shelter for at least one year to do so. 

Judge Steven Foster made it clear that it was the responsibility of the County to help place the homeless people that are currently living in Tent City. Now it is up to our State, County and Township leaders to help find the adequate shelter and counseling to vacate the makeshift shelters that have been the homes to well over a hundred people for the last five years.
