Residents of a Minneapolis neighborhood are demanding the closure of a homeless encampment due to safety concerns, including an explosion. They have sent a letter to city leaders urging them to take action.
Residents of a Minneapolis , Minnesota neighborhood have asked city leaders to shut down a recently installed homeless encampment following a series of concerning incidents, including an explosion. Phillip West neighbors and the Minneapolis police said the homeless encampment was set up on March 27 on the 2900 block of Fifth Avenue South, according to 5 Eyewitness News. 'We’re scared out of our minds. I’ve had people on my porch at 2 a.m.
Those resources include shelter, housing, mental health, and addiction services. The city continues to balance the needs of encampment residents with those of nearby residents and businesses when considering its response,' the statement continued. A separate large homeless encampment in Minneapolis was closed in January after a U.S. judge declined to issue a temporary restraining order that would have barred the city from shutting it down.
