From “Eastern Champaign church takes in tent city residents“:
St. Mary’s Catholic Church in east Champaign apparently will be the home for the Safe Haven tent community for the next month. The Rev. Tom Royer, pastor of the church at 612 E. Park Ave., sent a letter to Mayor Jerry Schweighart and the city council, dated Sunday, that ‘the parish of St. Mary has decided to host the Safe Haven tent community for 30 days.’
Kudos to St. Mary’s for this bold (and yes, illegal) move. Hope they’re ready for some impromptu code inspections.
