OCEANSIDE, Calif. An encampment of people experiencing homelessness is located just east of the I-5 on south Oceanside Blvd. They call it Fall-town, a place where people fall.
The people there have been living in the area for the past few months, but the city has said they need to be out by Saturday.
More than 50 people have called the Oceanside homeless encampment home including Rodney McGough who feels as though the city is throwing them out like trash.

Oceanside police officers, county health workers and several service providers staged what likely was the largest homeless outreach event ever held in the city at a growing encampment just off Oceanside Boulevard on Monday morning.
“Good morning, good morning,” Oceanside Police Officer Jose Perez said outside a tent alongside South Oceanside Boulevard shortly before 7 a.m. Monday. “Anyone in the tent? Can I just speak to you for a minute?”
Perez, a member of the police department’s four-officer Homeless Outreach, slipped into the tent with a flyer that promoted a resource fair that would provide information about shelters, housing assistance, medical and mental health care, veterans services and substance-use treatment.
