A northeast Georgia city says some people can stay in hotels past current limits. But they'll need documents proving they have no other place to stay.
The Gainesville City Council approved the changes Tuesday, including limiting how long people can stay in hotels.
The Times of Gainesville reports people would be exempt from the limits if they have documents from a nonprofit agency stating a person would be homeless if forced to leave.
Exceptions to the stay limits were made after homeless advocates said restrictions could further destabilize their lives. City officials say long stays in hotel can create safety problems.
