Hawley Street Encampment Ends After 24 Days | Albany News

After 24 days, the Hawley Street encampment in Binghamton has been dismantled, sparking debate over homelessness solutions and county leadership. Sparked by a deadly fire at the Knights Inn, the protest became a rallying cry for urgent housing reform, distributing food, hygiene supplies, and tents while helping residents access rehab and healthcare.

The physical camp is gone, but the fight for real, lasting solutions continues. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
