Tempe's decision to clear a large homeless encampment last year has had ripple effects on neighboring municipalities and nonprofit aid workers.
For three and a half years, Mary and Jeffrey Yahner called the “River Bottom” home.
Clearing out encampments through “sweeps” or “cleanups” is a common tactic throughout the U.S. as cities are under increasing pressure to address street homelessness. Those warnings often end up displacing people.
