A veterans group claims that a Colorado Springs organization has raided homeless camps, trashing VA paperwork, medication, photos, identification and even service medals belonging to homeless veterans.
According to the Colorado Springs Gazette, the
Colorado Veterans Alliance filed suit in federal court this week, claiming that Keep Colorado Springs Beautiful
violated the homeless veterans' civil rights. KCSB focuses on litter clean up, but also works with police officers to identify homeless camps and ask the residents to leave before cleaning up. The organization has received $45,000 in city funds.
