Aurora’s pallet shelters for people experiencing homelessness, which only allow a maximum 30-day stay, have been cycling the same individuals in and out, city staff told council members Thursday. Many return to street encampments when their time in the pallet shelter runs out, Jessica Prosser, homeless services director for the city, said. Then, the city sweeps the encampment again, and they get to come back to the shelter for another 30 days, Prosser explained. This process can repeat multiple times.

However, a video on TikTok posted by a former soldier shows that the toxic fungus has completely overrun his living quarters. Before you watch the clip let me just warn you, it’s really really bad.

Black kids and other kids of color are often disciplined in the legal system rather than the school system, which means that they get stuck in a vicious cycle of legal trouble that is extremely hard to get out of.
