City clearing homeless camps at MLK & Lee; we look for residents

Yesterday, Katherine and I went back to visit the old Red Shield Lodge property at MLK and Lee, to see if we could find anyone else staying there. We found and talked with folks along MLK, and even met up with one guy walking across the property, but he just seemed to be on his way somewhere else.

Friday night during NightWatch, we visited the property and found one gentleman sleeping there. After we (accidentally) woke him up, we spent a while talking to him. We let him know that the City would be clearing the property soon, and talked about his options. Hopefully, he’ll follow up with the suggestions we gave him.
