Aid volunteers and residents of Camp Nenookaasi packed up their belongings as Minneapolis police cordoned off several city blocks near the intersection of E. 26th Street and 14th Avenue S. to clear the homeless encampment on Tuesday in south Minneapolis.
The city of Minneapolis closed a homeless encampment Tuesday morning that formed after nearby Camp Nenookaasi was cleared in early January.
The city estimates that fewer than 25 people were living at the encampment overnight, on city land at E. 26th Street and 14th Avenue S., said City Operations Officer Margaret Anderson Kelliher. The camp's organizer disputed that figure, saying the number of residents is far larger.
"Large encampments are not dignified housing," Anderson Kelliher said at a news conference on Tuesday. "We have a responsibility to make sure people are offered services that are available through the city, county and state."
