AUSTIN, Texas — Although the governor’s office has acknowledged that Austin City Council‘s homeless ordinance changes are a “meaningful step,” the governor’s office said in a statement to KVUE Friday that his office is getting involved in Austin’s homeless issue.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott‘s office confirmed to KVUE Oct. 18 they were getting involved after Austin City Council met Oct. 17 to change its ordinances regarding camping, sitting and lying on public sidewalks.
