The area of Pack Saddle Pass and Highway 71 is now mostly empty, but there was a very large homeless encampment.
Last month, FOX 7 Austin spoke with one of the owners of Headspace Salon located near the encampment. She said she had seen an uptick in attacks and was scared for her employees and clients."Our safety started to become a big issue. We suffered from multiple break-ins. We've had our cars broken into. We clean up feces and needles on a weekly basis.
The homeless people were offered to be transferred to a shelter and connected to housing resources and 60 accepted. They’re heading to Southbridge and Northbridge Shelters. "At that bridge shelter they are connected to housing case management and working towards goals to exit homelessness," Leal said.
This is the City of Austin’s 12th encampment clean up. Since June 2021, the city and partners have helped more than 450 homeless people move from encampments to temporary bridge shelters as part of the Housing Focused Encampment Assistance Link initiative.DAILY NEWSLETTERthat I have read and agree
