LAS VEGAS ( KLAS ) – Homeless residents of the Las Vegas valley have found a new shelter: campaign signs.

As homelessness continues to be a main concern across the region, the unhoused are trying to find shelter any way they can. Recently, some have been setting up camp underneath political signs, which is hard to miss as people drive and walk by.
“I’ve seen people coming in and out. They might be cooking inside of there, and they are definitely sleeping underneath those wooden signs,” Ronald Polk said.
