Homeless camp sweeps to resume with Nevada Cares Campus opening
1 min read
The Nevada Cares Campus off Fourth Street by the Governor’s Bowl in Reno, Nevada is expected to open with room for 900 unsheltered people living in the region beginning May 10, 2021. City officials have stressed that the new space will be open to anyone seeking it. In the meantime, the City of Reno is preparing to resume homeless camp sweeps. Unsheltered people—about 250 of whom are living along at the Wells Avenue overpass—will once again be forced to move from the sprawling camps they’ve set up, largely on narrow tracts of land banded by the river to the south and train tracks to the north.
