"Hidden Homeless: California's Subterranean Caves Sheltering Drug-Infested Furnished Dwellings"

Homeless individuals in California were discovered living in 20-foot-deep caves along the Tuolumne River in Modesto, furnished with furniture and supplies. Police and volunteers removed 7,600 pounds of trash from the makeshift dwellings, which were accessed by makeshift stairs carved into the hillside. Concerns have been raised about the safety of the residents, and efforts are being made to relocate them to proper housing.
