Charles Allen helped some houseless people clean up their encampment after the City of Tucson ordered them to leave within 72 hours.
TUCSON, Ariz. — As Charles Allen walked through an empty houseless encampment, he didn't see much around.
Since many of them are not ordered to leave by the City, he also cleans up trash at the encampments when the houseless live there.He’s a volunteer with Tucson Clean and Beautiful’s Adopt a Wash program. They clean up trash at washes and homeless encampments. “They’re wonderful people and I’m very glad to continue to visit them….pretty much they have nobody so it’s good to stay in touch with the people that I used to care for,” Allen said.
They said in about 15 percent of their reports, the houseless people are ordered to leave their encampment so the City can clean them up. The City said they offer them resources and shelters to stay at.Allen said not all of the houseless who are ordered to relocate go to shelters because they don’t qualify.
