Residents push back on new city of Austin homeless camp plan
City of Austin now has two possible locations for homeless camps
Community residents who live near the two proposed locations for homeless camps are pushing back on the idea.
AUSTIN, Texas - An old parking lot on Manor Road is one of two locations the city of Austin is considering for a homeless campground.
