Kilo plays guitar near his camp on Saturday, Sept. 23, 2023. At the time, Kilo was living within the southside encampment located off the Iowa River. “I never expected to be homeless in Iowa City,” Kilo said.

Iowa City’s homeless population must navigate a set of difficulties which includes food insecurity, exposure to the elements and often personal traumas and or addiction. Despite the hardship, individuals have become increasingly resourceful and have built community-like networks as well as intricate encampments.
