ANCHORAGE, Alaska - A homeless camp, near the corner of 3rd Avenue and Ingra Street, has sparked concerns for several of the residents and property owners in the area - who said they’ve had property stolen and have dealt with trespassing from people in the camp.
“The things that are impacting the neighborhood are not homelessness related, they’re lawlessness related, the crime elements,” he said. “That is not being addressed.”“We’ve had numerous things stolen from our units, bicycles, anything that we may leave out, chairs, furniture,” Pardo said. “We’ve had our cars broken into.”
Several of the people living in the homeless camp near 3rd and Ingra are trying to better themselves and get out of a tough situation. “We keep our place clean,” Kenny said. “I’ve ordered that 20 feet around everyone’s camp should stay clean. I believe we are the cleanest camp here.”
