Jamil Boyd, 41, calls the site, nicknamed “Tent City,” home.
“I have been here for about three weeks,” he told News4Jax. “COVID hit, I got laid off.”
The residency of Tent City has grown over the last several weeks.
“Everybody who is out here, still out here, sticking it out, is actually needing the services,” Boyd said. “It is not a game.”
A count from volunteers on the property Sunday morning confirmed there were 153 tents with approximately 125 people within the perimeter secured by a fence and Jacksonville police.
Randy Reschly said he has lived at Tent City for about two weeks.
