LAWRENCE, Kan. â The City of Lawrence might have an answer to the increasing need in their homeless community.
"How do you potentially build a temporary shelter for folks who may be in transition so it may lead to future opportunities down the road?" Derek Rogers, director of the Lawrence Parks and Recreation Department, said.
That answer is
Camp Woody, a permitted campsite at Woody Park in Lawrence, Kansas. It's made up of 20 tents for people experiencing homelessness. It sits next door to Lawrence Memorial Hospital.
