WASHINGTON, DC - FEBRUARY 15: Members of a clean-up crew remove belongings that have been left behind by occupants as the National Park Service clears the homeless encampment at McPherson Square on February 15, 2023 in Washington, DC. AFPPIX: Security agents and sanitary personnel on Wednesday cleared out a longstanding encampment of homeless people in a leafy Washington plaza just steps from the White House.

Dozens of tents had filled the makeshift camp in a plaza two blocks from both the White House and the US Treasury, and six blocks from the World Bank. Authorities announced in November they would clear the camp by April but decided to move up the evacuation, warning the campers weeks in advance that they would need to move to homeless shelters.

Homeless advocates, like Amanda Misiko Andere, chief executive of Funders Together to End Homelessness, told AFP that she “saw a lot of people scared and worried about where they were going to go, not knowing where they were going to go.”
