Tucson Groups Offer Plans to House Homeless
Posted February 8, 2016
Advocates for the homeless are proposing designated campsites and micro houses in Tucson, based on successful pilot programs in Eugene, Oregon. That city allows legal campsites on city, county, or private property, where up to 20 people can live in tents or small huts on top of a wooden platform.
City leaders in Tucson recently formed a work group to study ways to help the homeless get into stable transitional housing. Ward 5 City Council Member Richard Fimbres is leading the group.
