City of Phoenix approves creation of new homeless campground

The Phoenix City Council has approved the purchase of a new compound intended to accommodate the homeless population. On June 28, members of the council approved in an 8-1 vote to license and buy a plot of land near "The Zone" in an effort to create a structured campground.
 

City officials say the 4.2 acre space would give people who are not ready to be at shelters a place to safely camp. 

The land is two blocks away from the Human Services Campus, and it is slated to accommodate well over 100 people, complete with security, bathrooms, showers, and an indoor cooling center.
