in this January 2020 photo, weeks before the COVID-19 pandemic struck, Ruvondai N. Brown, left, assists Rhonda L. Sneed in laying out supplies for residents of “Camp Cathy,” a homeless tent city on Oliver Hill Way. Richmond Mayor Levar M. Stoney had the camp torn down. Ms. Sneed, founder and executive director of Blessing Warriors, a nonprofit that provides food and clothing to the unsheltered, has been outspoken in her criticism of the city’s effort, saying that Richmond treats stray animals better than unsheltered humans. She believes that the best way to ensure sufficient shelter would be for the city to allow her to install a tent city akin to the Camp Cathy.
