It is reported that 46 million Americans are living in poverty in the U.S. today and that many are living in these Tent Cities instead of on the streets. States like New Jersey and Ohio are suing the homeless for taking up residency in wooded areas.
Some of these tent cities have been around since 2006 and are also occupied with RV, cars, make shift tents, shacks, and galvanized housing materials.
State officials are reporting that it's a violation of trespassing and that the homeless can and will be sued as a repercussion of these laws. Where would they go? Many residents are asking this question as they are also in search of employment. Is this the new wave of the future for jobless Americans who have become homeless Americans?
