City leaders enforced a Sept. 1 deadline for residents of the Free Bridge encampment, along the Rivanna River, to leave the space. A temporary, 120-bed shelter is available at 2000 Holiday Drive for people displaced from Free Bridge, though the city says only 26 people have moved into the space.
Charlottesville City Reporter Hannah Davis-Reid spoke to people who had been living in the encampment about the forced relocation.
