A gut-wrenching 911 call back
A gut-wrenching 911 call back in November 2022 made it clear that the 12News I-Team needed to start digging into the newest generation being born into homelessness.
On that November night, emergency crews called to “The Zone” Phoenix’s largest homeless encampment after someone reported a child in the middle of the street near 11th Avenue and Madison.
Police later learned it was the remains of a 20-24 week old fetus left by a fire, next to a dumpster in the heart of the encampment. Police believed this case was a miscarriage and prompted questions on whether there are enough resources for pregnant women experiencing homelessness.
Despite a growing homeless population in the Phoenix metro area and the city’s largest homeless encampment being just a few blocks east of the state Capitol, Arizona doesn’t track homeless pregnancies like some other states do.
