City councilor clears up rumor about potential sanctioned homeless camp

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – Neighbors in northwest Albuquerque are on edge as a homeless encampment continues to grow near their homes. Tents and shopping carts are starting to fill up an empty field at the corner of Irving and Eagle Ranch. Nearby neighbors say they're concerned as the encampment gets bigger."We do have two beautiful parks in that area, and it does concern me; we have a lot of kids in that neighborhood that utilize those parks," Liz Hausenfleck, a resident, said.
