## Resource

City sweeps 120 homeless encampments, hauling away 670,000 pounds of debris and connecting 44 people with services—though 44 declined help. Shockingly, 28% of sites saw return visits, hinting the problem’s deeper than just relocation. Critics like VOCAL-TX and THRA blast the sweeps as ineffective, citing that 70% of affected people got no notice and 75% received no services. The city admits flaws, now inviting feedback via email as it balances cleanup with community input. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
