Residents who spoke to LehighValleyNews.com said they don’t know where they will go; the camp near Tilghman Street was an oasis for many who previously lived alone or in small groups.
Residents of a homeless encampment along Jordan Creek questioned the city's priorities Thursday as officials started the process to shut it down.
LaTarsha Brown, an Allentown School Board member, was accepted Thursday into the Lehigh County’s Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition program.
The proposal will be the subject of a committee-of-the-whole meeting at 6 p.m. Aug. 13 in City Hall.
City officials said the encampment is in active flood zone and must be shut down. The move goes against Mayor Matt Tuerk's directive to clean rather than clear camps.
