SUMMARY: This morning, discussions focus on Mayor Whitmeyer’s proposal for a new city-sponsored encampment to address homelessness in Houston’s East End, where residents have reported a sharp rise in homelessness. Local community members, predominantly from a Latino working-class background, are advocating for the expansion of the civility ordinance to tackle issues like loitering and enhance safety. The East End Management District links the increase in homelessness to the relocation of people from downtown and the Greyhound terminal. Residents are urging for more authority for law enforcement to address safety concerns, while the mayor will provide updates on the encampment plan soon.
