BREMERTON, Wash. (AP) — Some residents on the east side of Bremerton are upset with a neighbor’s proposal to build a temporary camp for the homeless.

Volunteers with Bremerton Rescue Mission would build as many as three dozen 12-by-12-foot plywood cabins for families with children. They would use portable toilets.

The man behind the plan, Bremerton engineer Joel Adamson, says neighbors were angry and some yelled at him over the weekend when he passed out notices.

Kitsap County would have to issue a permit for the homeless camp and the Kitsap Sun says that’s now uncertain.
