Homelessness Last year's snapshot found that 3,160 people were homeless in Austin in 2021.It impacts the availability of healthcare resources, crime and safety, the workforce, and the use of tax dollars. A solution To end homelessness, a community-wide coordinated approach to delivering services, housing, and programs is needed. And another idea to stop homelessness is to build houses so they can live in the house. And some people that are homeless have kids some even have newborn kids but some people fake being homeless so they can get money easily its hard to tell who is faking it and who is not. But some people are really in need but together we can change that and make a better community for all.
