Houston City Council passed the ordinance that prohibits the collect of $$ on the medians.  It is effective immediately.  Wonder if it will stop those that beg in Kingwood?  Banning homeless camps too but that does not take effect for 30 dayshttp://abc13.com/news/city-passes-ordinance-to-ban-homeless-camps/1864759/ 4951

@BooBear: All it does is cause them to break into/onto private property to avoid the police . These laws if passed should be passed in conjunction with efforts to get the homeless off the streets(i.e. opening more shelters, a job outreach push) but instead are just "Stop being homeless, it is now against the law" BS. The Panhandling ban will probably stand(not enforced ofc because the cops already don't enforce the anti panhandling laws) but the homeless camp thing won't, somebody will push an injunction through to stop it from even going into effect because honestly where does the council really think these people are going to go.

@ Freba
 
There is a lot that has been done and is being done to help
the homeless in Houston. You need more facts before you spot off about a topic
that you obviously only want to get upset and blame someone about but to do
very little to help. It is pretty amazing on how the city has worked with churches
and civic groups to help the homeless.
 
www.houstontx.gov/ho using/homelessness.h tml
 
The system is set up with so that each agency’s computers
work together to help the newly homeless to the cortically homeless with
different programs.  It could be lawyers
to help with legal issues, doctors to help with physical and mental issues, job
training and counseling. There are a lot of groups that are full time and also volunteer
to help.

Never seen one. Throw your coffee at the bums. That will stop them. I was homeless for a point, but would never beg. There is Day Labor that pays daily. It's what I did. 4951
