Large New Homeless Camp Sprouts Up In Unhealthy Floodway Near Chattanooga Creek
Tuesday, July 13, 2021
One of Chattanooga's largest homeless camps has sprouted up in an unhealthy Chattanooga Creek floodway near the Rossville, Ga., line.
Robert Gustafson, who has a fulltime mission to local homeless, estimates that up to 60 homeless individuals are in two large camps and four or five smaller ones along a wooded section of Workman Road.
The location is just beyond a railroad spur from the now-closed Southern Honda Powersports. That business, that was formerly operated by now mayor Tim Kelly, has moved to East Ridge.
Mr. Gustafson said the camp developed over the past several months after a camp closer to Rossville Boulevard was shut down by Walter A. Wood Supply and a homeless group was told to leave a camp behind an ice business on South Broad Street. "Some have come up from North Georgia as well," Mr. Gustafson said.
