Lakewood tent city to close permanently; final residents have been evicted
LAKEWOOD – A controversial homeless camp in Lakewood is being torn down and many living there say they aren’t sure where they are going to go.
Manny Leon says he doesn’t know where he’ll live after Sunday, the day he must leave the tent city. “If they set us on the street, you know desperate people can meet desperate things,” he says.
Leon is among the 30 or so homeless people living in the campsite off of Cedar Bridge Avenue. Cynthia Vellinga has called it home for five years.
