Next City | Autonomous Yurt Union
Organizers with Camp Nenookaasi say the situation is untenable for the city’s unhoused residents. They’re pushing local elected officials to decriminalize safe outdoor encampments, keep encampment evictions to a minimum, and protect residents’ rights and dignity during necessary evictions. And in the meantime, they’re finding creative ways to help protect residents – such as building yurts to protect unhoused individuals during Minnesota’s cold winters.
