Need some info..

There is talk that Tucson is relaxing about letting homeless sleep in parks to make it easier for us to shelter in place.
Need to find if it is true and will they have certain parks and will they open up the bathrooms in these parks.

Been trying to look up in Google, but can't seem to find the latest news. Earliest news found it a couple of days old.

HELP!

Or perhaps your city councilor. Or the local newspaper.

Hope you find out quickly what is going to happen.

There app showing of the evening news but it is still a little short on info.

Found me a hidding place that has an outlet and a open WiFi signal. But the thought of being able to be in a park, with the high chance of police presence does sound way better.

Have local churches figured out a way to take in some of the homeless?

The 3 big shelters are not able to help as many as they did and those in there have to stay in unless they have a job,a confermed doctors appointment, or a meeting with people who to help with housing. And they must bring back a letter stating that they went to these places to get back in.
