homeless camps

City staff and social workers assisted in clearing the camp, which lay in a wooded area by the Wheeler Mission on the city’s west side.

The City of Bloomington says it will clear a homeless camp behind the Wheeler Mission on the city’s west side Thursday.

The City of Bloomington vacated a homeless encampment on the city’s southwest side during the fourth day of new mayor Kerry Thomson’s term.

The draft legislation was widely seen as an effort to prevent homeless individuals from camping on sidewalks, streets and roads.

The resolution is non-binding and serves only as a recommendation for the council to vote on an ordinance of the same nature.
