After Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced that the state would rely on the city of Austin to provide shelter for people experiencing homelessness, the city’s leadership has responded with some clarification.

Despite the governor’s statement, Austin officials report that the state has referred only one person to city shelters so far. This comes as the state continues to conduct homeless encampment sweeps in the capital city.

The discrepancy highlights ongoing challenges and coordination issues between state and local authorities in addressing homelessness in Austin.
