Migrants are living in the woods on Long Island

Описание к видео Migrants are living in the woods on Long Island

Victor Cruz starts his day by walking to a nearby convenience store for fresh water. That’s also where, on warm days, he showered with a hose — at least, until the hose was removed.

Cruz, 48, lives in the woods of the Hamptons, just minutes from Southampton Village and neighborhoods with sprawling mansions. It’s unclear when the encampment Cruz has lived in the past four years got its start, but neighbors and advocates say it’s been there for years.

Cruz and the camp, however, might not be there for much longer. Plans to build 50 units of affordable housing on the site were set in motion years ago.
