AUSTIN (KXAN) — A controversial homeless resource hub in south Austin — the Sunrise Homeless Navigation Center — will be relocating, according to Austin City Council Member Ryan Alter.
Alter, who’s district encompasses the navigation center, says the city is “acquiring a property which will serve as a new navigation center in a more appropriate location.”
“The idea is for pretty much all the services to move,” Alter said. “We’re still in those conversations. One of the things that has come up is they provide some family services and certain families have their address actually at the navigation center, so their kids are enrolled at Joslin. Doesn’t make sense to uproot those kids.”
