In the little patch of woods on the west side of south rogers across from the community kitchen and The Warehouse there is a growing the pile of mattresses and other debris that makes it seem that that is a homeless squatting site or an abandoned squatting site that is turning into a trash heap. It is the little patch of woods that is between two Nervous Nordisc entry points. I suspect that's private property. So it does not violate the new state law against camping on public property. But i'm sure the amount of trash there violates. Some ordinance is regarding abandoned mattresses..... I've been watching it over the last few weeks. And it is growing.

There is a "tent" structure in the front yard of this property. The legal owner is deceased and her adult children occupy this house without paying taxes. The homeless people who congregate here do not have access to a bathroom or sewage system. The property is littered with clothing and trash. This property has been under an abatement, which I believe ended when the property was sold recently at the Treasurer's tax sale. This property continues to be an eyesore and a health concern from feces & urine (from lack of restroom access), as well as rodent & insect investations. I have also seen needles from drug use scattered on the road in the past.

My name is Ya-Feng Wang. I came to the State of Indiana about ten years ago due to a government job. In Bloomington, IN, the housing issue is a big problem. In the fall of 2018, I was homeless for about 4~5 months. The previous managers at Cambridge Square Bloomington arranged to let me move into an apartment in Dec. 2018. It is hard to get things done in Bloomington, IN. It is hard to find an apartment. It is hard to find a good doctor. It is hard to find a mechanic. My cars are old Volvo cars. It is more difficulty to find one. It is not my fault. If I cannot find one, I cannot create one. As I am getting older, I even have a hard time to take care of myself. In the fall of 2025, I had some serious health issues. My vision has become extremely poor. I even had a hard time to do some treatment. They just assume that I violated parking policies. They evicted me. Since last fall, I spent all of my time searching for legal assistance and an apartment. All efforts were useless. The court is very biased. Finally, they evicted me. I do not know what to do. My pity Volvo cars were towed. At the last moment, the manager was still threatening to let me sleep on street. With the help of relatives, I have a temporary place to stay. I lost a lot of premium frozen meat, household goods, folding tables, chairs, floor lamps, mattress, etc. Cambridge Square is for people with disabilities and elders to have a place to stay. Government intended to assist those people with disabilities. It is totally wrong to be extremely tough on those Federal protected individuals with disabilities. Many tenants there hate the management there. They try to organize associations to have their own rights. I encourage the city to investigate the situation and to help those pity tenants.

Us residents in Broadview are having more and more issues with this homeless camp behind the IMI concrete plant. There is trash everywhere, shopping carts left in the street, people yelling at all hours, people burning trash every day, people trespassing, and now fights are breaking out. The groups that have been there lately are more aggressive and it’s starting to get out of control. Why the city is condoning this as the spot to throw the homeless is beyond ridiculous and why is there no police presence? My neighbors called the cops last night about the fight that broke out and I don’t remember seeing anyone show up. Why is this camo being allowed? Why is it not being monitored with a higher police presence? Why are we the ones that have to deal with this mess? And why is this being allowed so close to a neighborhood that is now making everything unsafe in this area? Please, do better than this. It has gotten way out of control.

Countless bags of trash and debris are left on parking lot at this location for an excess of a week now, we believe these are left here by the homeless crowd as they have been camping at this location previously. Obviously this church has no interest in dealing with this problem and sack of trash may contain hazardous material. Typically the hummus are leaving drugs and or needles, syringe, etc..
