Minneapolis council approves site to relocate homeless camp

After a week of contentious debate about the relocation of dozens of homeless people living in tents along Hiawatha Avenue, the Minneapolis City Council on Wednesday agreed to move encampment residents temporarily a few blocks east to a 1.5-acre property owned by the Red Lake Nation.

The City Council's decision removes a hurdle that threatened to further prolong the process of relocating encampment residents.
