A neighbor pleads for a change after slowly witnessing a homeless encampment grow larger in her backyard. She says fires are ignited, and buckets of human waste are dumped into the bayou.
A homeowner in Houston's Edgebrook neighborhood is concerned as a homeless encampment grows larger a few feet from her backyard.A homeless encampment that has been sitting behind a woman's house for months in Houston's Edgebrook neighborhood has her concerned for her family's health and safety.
In April, she claims the camp started to get bigger and her neighbor noticed people were dumping buckets of human waste into the bayou. "We have a big electrical pole up there. Had that caught on fire, we would have had outages. No telling what would have happened," she said. "The remaining individuals residing at the encampment will be moved into housing later this week," Marc Eichenbaum, a special assistant to the Mayor for Homeless Initiatives, said. "Not only is this encampment being decommissioned. But it is being done the right way, utilizing data-proven, holistic solutions to help individuals experiencing homelessness and prevent merely displacing inhabitants onto nearby blocks or further into our neighborhoods.
