Homeless group considers camp in Puyallup
The Puyallup City Council will hold a public hearing on Oct. 20 to consider a proposed homeless camp in the community.
The Associated Press
The Puyallup City Council will hold a public hearing on Oct. 20 to consider a proposed homeless camp in the community.
Homeless advocates say the city doesn't have enough temporary housing for everyone, despite help from churches. They say families are already camping in the woods because they don't have anywhere better to stay.
The tent city proposal would put a cap of 40 residents and a time limit of 90 days within a one-year period.
The city has a strictly enforced "no camping" policy.
