There is a big pile of trash in front of the old Weddle brothers building that is now owned by beacon. There is also two port o John’s that were placed there during their groundbreaking ceremony over 3 months ago. They have barb wire wrapped around them and the homeless have been using them.The address is 1201 west third street. Bloomington IN 47403
The parking lot is a disaster. They've set storage containers in the actual spots so cars can't park there but it's become a party spot for the homeless. Trash is absolutely everywhere, there's sofas and cushions scattered about. It's becoming quite a safety issue.

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.

Homeless in a tent with camp setup
The homeless are starting to congregate and shoot up in the park again now that it's summer. Where is the security patrol? Where are the police, they never come into the neighborhood? Tired of cleaning up needles in the park!
Not sure if this is where I report this, but I just saw a man with a pit bull and a baseball bat walk angrily down Cherokee Drive towards the homeless encampment. There’s been a lot of screaming and dog barking and one woman left from there but people are still yelling. Overall the camp has grown quite a bit and has been pretty unruly lately. I believe this needs to be looked at immediately. Thank you
Trash bags piled up on the ground next to the house have been there for weeks and have been ripped up and dug through by animals and homeless people. Nasty.
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.
