Over the past two years, the city has spent $1 million to bolster its only sanctioned homeless encampment. Today, that camp doesn't exist, razed due to issues with the nonprofit overseeing it, and its future in limbo. wxxinews.org/local-news/2024…

City’s only sanctioned homeless encampment razed, its future in limbo

A push to bring the camp back is at an impasse. The associated nonprofits are in disarray. The construction budget is short an estimated $70,000. And nobody is capable or willing to take charge.

Thread for young #journalism pros. Life is long. I hope your career will be long. I had zero career until my mid30s. I stepped away from work repeatedly. I drifted, I vanished, I got paid garbage, I got "soft" fired. I was still sort of figuring it all out well into my 40s 1/
