| A Northern California city is offering to pay 28 homeless people $3000 each to leave a former landfill area that is set to be transformed into a park, the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
According to the settlement by Albany city officials, homeless people have to leave the area by Friday with any pets and possessions. They must promise to stay away from the area for at least a year, according to the Chronicle.
While 28 people who signed the settlement will receive $3000 each, there are 25 additional homeless people who will not be paid and will also have to leave. Some of the residents had lived in the area for 15 years or more, according to the East Bay Express.
The settlement, which was negotiated by an advocacy group on behalf of the homeless, brings an end to a long-standing legal dispute between them and the city, which seeks to expand a park into the 31-acre area known as the Bulb.
