A small encampment in Howell, NJ, is home to nine people who once lived in Tent City, which was a community of about 120 homeless people living together in a wooded area of Lakewood, NJ. It was shut down by the township in July 2015.

The APP reports that the Howell encampment is run by the same minister – the Rev. Steve Brigham of the Lakewood Outreach Ministry Church– who also started and operated Tent City.

The encampment has been around for about a year, Brigham said. It’s tucked in a wooded area off a dirt road adjacent to Route 9 in Howell.

The encampment is about a tenth of the size of Lakewood’s former Tent City. Brigham says that the folks who live there generally work or go out looking for work every day

  1. Brigham says that the folks who live there generally work or go out looking for work every day” I guess they felt more connected to the Howell environment than that of Lakewood.
