AUSTIN, Texas — The Austin City Council on Thursday passed an amended HEAL resolution, which could partially reinstate the homeless camping ban in four high-traffic areas.
The resolution was passed 8-3, with Natasha Harper-Madison, Greg Casar and Vanessa Fuentes voting against.
“Today we took action toward our shared goals of providing a path to permanent housing and ensuring that no one lives unsheltered in unsafe conditions. Our unhoused neighbors deserve compassionate protection for safe places to live,” said Councilmember Ann Kitchen Thursday.
