Clarke: Homes Found for Camp 83 Residents

Many of the residents have found at least temporary homes in North Baltimore.

Councilwoman Mary Pat Clarke said all of the homeless people living in what was dubbed Camp 83 have roofs over their heads.

Clarke said Thursday night that all of the "camp" residents now have housing vouchers, or found a place to stay, many of them in North Baltimore after a local woman volunteered to let them stay at properties she owns.

The camp of homeless people living under Interstate 83 was set to be evicted Friday because Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake’s administration claimed it had become rife with drug and alcohol use.
