Last summer, we reported on the charitable outreach, Sean’s Outpost, being threatened with an eviction notice by Pensacola, Florida county officials and the organization’s neighbors residing next to the nine acres of property known as Satoshi Forest. The homeless outreach that has been fueled by bitcoin since 2013 had appealed the eviction, and on September 28 2017, Sean’s Outpost founder Michael Kimbrel told news.Bitcoin.com they had won the appeal.
The Florida-based homeless outreach Sean’s Outpost founded by Michael Kimbrel and Jason King back in 2013, has been a popular charity among bitcoin proponents. The organization has provided over 167,000 meals to those in need, and all of it has been paid for with bitcoin. The organization was created to help deal with the growing Pensacola homeless population by providing them free meals and a safe place to live. However, two years ago county officials and a few neighbors threatened Sean’s Outpost residents with eviction, stating the land was not permitted to be a campground.
For close to two years, it seemed county officials would evict Sean’s Outpost residents. The Department of Housing and Urban Development issued a cease-and-desist against structures built on the property, and the charity even faced hefty fines for code violations. However, Kimbrel told news.Bitcoin.com that they had won the appeal and Sean’s Outpost is very pleased with the latest judgment. The Escambia County Judge’s statement reads:
“It is ordered that the decision of the Escambia County Board of Adjustment decision denying the appeal of the staff denial of the development order is hereby quashed,” the Judge’s statement reads. “This cause is remanded to the board for further proceedings consistent herewith to address with specificity the compliance or lack thereof LDC buffering standards.”
