St. Louis “Hopeville” tent community of around 75 individuals were forced to leave the camp by the city. The encampment had asked the city for an acre of land because the response of the city social services was not adequate to meet the demand of the number of individuals that are homeless.

This is another case of a city not providing proper services to those in need but insist on moving people to another place. Just because the camp has moved its location does not mean that the issue of the homeless is going to go away.
