Philadelphia has set a May 8 deadline for homeless people and drug users in Kensington to remove all belongings and disperse from Kensington Avenue. Ahead of an expected encampment sweep, which is part of Mayor Cherelle Parker's neighborhood revival plan, people experiencing homelessness and addiction share how they plan to respond.
The city's first homeless sweep under the Johnston administration will happen on Friday, August 4, at an encampment in Denver's Five Points neighborhood.
