abc15.com

Phoenix City Council voted to restrict food and medical aid distribution in city parks due to security concerns. The new ordinance limits aid events to two permits per park monthly, requiring permits for neighborhood parks with parking lots. Supporters cited safety and cleanliness, while opponents argued it hinders aid to the unhoused. Permit applications open Thursday, with distributions starting June 5. The city cannot outright ban food distribution but aims to regulate its practice.
