FORT LAUDERDALE, FLA. (WSVN) - Several displaced homeless people affected by a cleanup of Stranahan Park in Fort Lauderdale will soon receive a settlement payment from the city.
The American Civil Liberties Union sued the city for clearing out a homeless encampment near Stranahan Park in 2017.
A settlement was eventually reached to pay 10 displaced residents who accused the city of unlawfully seizing their belongings.
The 10 displaced residents will be splitting a settlement payment of $40,000.
