ASU’s Move Threatens Homeless Meal Program

Arizona State University is poised to demolish the historic Louis Emerson House to build a new health school, threatening the temporary home of Food Not Bombs PHX — a vital downtown Phoenix group feeding the homeless. After being pushed off campus and forced to relocate due to new city ordinances banning unsanctioned food service in parks, the group found refuge in the century-old home. Now, with ASU eyeing acquisition and the tenant facing potential displacement, volunteers and the homeowner alike decry what they see as government overreach. The city’s restrictive new food-serving law, which limits permits and bans certain medical aid, is already under legal challenge — and the fate of this historic site could soon determine whether community aid continues to thrive or is pushed further out of reach.
