The deadline for people living in one of the city's largest homeless camps is fast approaching.
The city has given notice and posted signs alerting the 50-plus people still living in a homeless camp beneath the CSX railroad tracks on Davidson Street to be gone by Monday.
Eyewitness News has learned many of those at the homeless camp will not move and risk getting arrested.
"I like living here because it's the only place I got to go, said homeless camp member "Carolina."
"Clothes, documents and applications," said "Carolina."
"Carolina" is one of at least 50-people who call this outdoor area downtown, their home.
Last week, the City posted signs outlining that CSX needs to inspect and do work on the railroad tracks. The signs outlines that no one will be allowed to live in this construction zone.
"No, No, We are not going to move," said camp member Marcus Young.
Maurice Young said his homeless community will face that Monday morning deadline, head-on.
He said the City is trying to "hide" the homeless problem.
Young also told Eyewitness News he believes members of several outreach communities will stand by him in protest on Monday.
Young said members of the homeless community have talked about being arrested Monday and have promised not to fight back.
"We've had that discussion. We will peacefully go where ever they want us to go. No violence," said Young.
Some members can't stay and protest Monday morning. One man Eyewitness man talked with is on probation and would risk a harsher penalty. So, he packed up his tent and moved out.
Still, it's a fight for their home.. these people say they'll risk going to jail for: "I don't know what's going to happen tomorrow. Packed up and waiting to see," said "Carolina."
A city spokesman has told Eyewitness News police would only arrest people as "a last resort."
Comment: Privatize the prison system, foreclose on 2-3 MILLION homes per year, then criminalize homelessness. Waalaa, instant slave labor force.
