Encampments
Encampments are temporary living spaces often set up by groups of people, such as homeless individuals or refugees, who lack permanent housing. These areas can be found in urban settings, parks, or near public facilities, and they typically consist of tents, makeshift shelters, or other basic structures. Encampments can arise due to various factors, including economic hardship, natural disasters, or social issues.
In many cases, encampments face challenges such as limited access to sanitation, healthcare, and social services. Local governments and organizations may intervene to provide support or relocate residents, aiming to address the underlying issues that lead to the formation of these temporary communities.
