Homeless Encampments: When Cities Sweep and Clean, They Create a New Problem

Many people live in the area of SE 94th and Pardee, not far from Portland’s Lents Park. Some live in homes. Some live in tents.

Fernando is one of those who live under tents and tarps along that stretch. The night before KOIN 6 News went to the area, Fernando was burning a candle to keep warm. His tent caught on fire. He and his girlfriend barely escaped.

“I woke up to the smoke,” Fernando said. “I just started putting the fire out, trying to get my breath and get my girl out.”

But the fire consumed everything. “There’s nothing left to get. This is a whole garbage now.” He even lost the birthday present he bought for his daughter.
