Homeless Evicted From Target Camp

For nine years, a makeshift encampment in the wooded area behind Target in Coeur d’Alene has been the place a number of the area’s homeless have called home. But in less than a week, the camp will no longer exist. Jeff Conroy, executive director of St. Vincent de Paul of North Idaho, told The Press Thursday that Spokane developer Harlan Douglass plans to sell the land and wants all the homeless residents trespassed from the property by Wednesday. Outreach workers at Heritage Health, collaborating with St. Vincent de Paul, are now scrambling to get people to leave the forested area by the deadline, he said. Efforts to relocate the homeless people are already underway. Conroy said outreach workers told him half the camp’s 50 to 60 residents have left/ Keith Cousins , Coeur d’Alene Press. More here.
