Lansdale Borough officials and local nonprofits are collaborating on a "compassionate" approach to address a homeless encampment at Stony Creek Park, pushing back against misinformation circulating on social media about the camp and its residents. Rather than punitive enforcement, officials say they're focused on the well-being and dignity of their "unhoused neighbors." Officials are aided in part by the February 2026 opening of Todi's Place of Hope, a new shelter at 1107 E. Main St. with single- and double-occupancy rooms, a kitchen, laundry, case management, and 24/7 security — which officials hope could reduce Lansdale's homeless population by up to 75%.
