TUCSON, Ariz. — In recent months, communities across Tucson have seen a surge in unsheltered individuals and debris in their washes, prompting local authorities and residents to take action.
"My staff gets out of the office and gets their hands dirty. Folks are pretty familiar with it on the east side at this point. We try to be as vigilant as we can in addressing some of the concerns the neighbors have. The bottom line is that it's important for us to connect with our neighbors in the community," Cunningham said.
"There's a big focus for washes where you have undergrowth, where you have some folks taking a residence close to the neighbors, and sometimes it's not an issue, but a lot of times it becomes an issue because they're engaged in things that are perceived as a danger to their children," Cunningham said.
