Minneapolis Park Police officers clear a homeless encampment at Powderhorn Park in South Minneapolis on July 20, 2020. This action addressed the growing number of unsheltered individuals residing in public parks, a situation exacerbated by the social and economic disruptions experienced in Minneapolis during that year. Powderhorn Park, a significant green space in South Minneapolis, became one of several locations where temporary shelters emerged, highlighting the city's challenges with housing insecurity.
