How to find this data

Look for 'Encampment' (NYC, San Francisco), 'Homeless Encampment' (LA), 'HOMELESS EMT' (Oakland), and 'Corporate - Encampment Concerns' (Calgary). Only a handful of the cities we track publish a dedicated encampment service type — others fold encampment complaints into 'other' or general building/street categories.
