Oceanside city officials, facing criticism from residents, the League of Women Voters and the American Civil Liberties Union, have stepped back from a proposal to tighten regulations for the Brother Benno’s Foundation’s services to the homeless.
One of the changes is that the city will not pursue its request for Brother Benno’s to share information about its clients with the Oceanside Police Department, an idea some critics called “Orwellian.”
“Absent a court order or a warrant, we are not going to let anybody have access to our database,” said Marco Gonzalez, an attorney for Brother Benno’s.
