## Resource

In Tempe, Arizona, a contentious issue arises over feeding the homeless at Daley Park. Local churches provide food daily, attracting around one hundred unhoused individuals, but this has led to drugs, crime, and trash, turning the park into a dangerous area. Residents feel helpless and unprotected, with open drug use, feces, and violence near their homes. Faith leaders, driven by their ministry, stand firm, adding park patrols and security. However, the city has responded with code citations, costing churches thousands. Now, Tempes city council is set to vote on tweaked nuisance codes to balance charity and safety on May fourteenth.
