Linn Park’s new approach to homelessness

Tents popped up again at Linn Park just a day after the city cleared out a homeless encampment, but this time, the focus is on connecting people to real help—not just moving them along. Urban Alchemy’s HEART Birmingham crews are out there every day, getting to know folks by name and working to link them with shelters, medical care, and other resources. The city isn’t banning anyone from the park—they just want it to be a space everyone can use. With a new $1.7 million contract, Urban Alchemy says they’re doubling down on support. What do you think—does this approach strike the right balance for Birmingham? #Safety #Birmingham #LinnPark
