ELMIRA, N.Y. (WETM) – 18 News is investigating how a nationwide rise in homelessness is being felt in our area. Newly obtained bodycam footage from Elmira Police shows the living conditions in a homeless encampment under the southern end of the Clemens Center Parkway Bridge. 18 News asked police to perform a wellness check after a volunteer who helps feed the homeless entered the encampment last week. The volunteer then told 18 News he saw a pregnant teenager who appeared to be unconscious and suffering from drug withdrawals.
