After vetting 78 potential sites for city-sanctioned homeless encampments, Austin officials say just two of them are still in the running and they aren t yet ready to tell the public where those sites might be.
In a Thursday memo to Austin City Council members, the city staffers working to find places for homeless individuals to stay said they would give more details on the two potential sites after looking into whether zoning changes might be needed for the properties.
The 78 sites on the list were vetted for factors including access to public transportation, wildfire and flooding risk and proximity to schools.
