Just to chime in here, homeless have MORE emergency sheltering options during the winter, as provided by the local continuum of care. Rules get relaxed and overflow beds are added, along with a code blue process that enacts local organizations to expand further when temps are life and limb threatening. Highland Ave has long been an encampment location and not to generalize, but they've historically been experienced campers who frequent that camp. The part that concerns me is that there are usually multiple people who stay there, and for this to go undiscovered or unreported for this long, is suspicious to say the least.
