‘It’s a lot’: Homeless residents at Anchorage campground get ready to move out following days of uncertaintyNotices of campsite closure have been posted around the Centennial Campground in Anchorage for two weeks.
“It’s kind of a little nerve-wracking,” Concepcion said. “Where am I going to move my stuff? First, I already don’t have a place, and now I have to move it. It’s a little bit… it’s a lot. It’s a lot.” “I’m really not looking forward to having to go to the Sullivan Arena, but if that’s something that’ll get me into a better situation after this, than I guess it’s something that could be in the plans,” he said.
“I don’t care if it’s summer or winter, out here on the streets is not fun,” Shadowwind said. “People might stereotype, but f__k this. It’s stupid out here. You got people out here, not by their choice, and they get stereotyped every time they ask for that help. With me I’ve been asking for it for years.”
When the camp closes, he said, he’ll head to Big Lake, with the promise of work and shelter for himself and for — as he describes them — his four-legged “boys”.
