Judge Steven Foster made it clear that it was the responsibility of the County to help place the homeless people that are currently living in Tent City. Now it is up to our State, County and Township leaders to help find the adequate shelter and counseling to vacate the makeshift shelters that have been the homes to well over a hundred people for the last five years.
