HOUSTON – On Monday, Precinct 2 Constable Jerry Garcia and Precinct 2 Sgt. Ray Perez, with the Constable’s Homeless Outreach Team, took FOX 26’s Leslie DelasBour to a heavily-wooded homeless encampment along 45 South.
Precinct 2 says they want to make sure folks who are living on the streets find their way into permanent housing.
“We’re working in conjunction with HPD’s DRT team. They are amazing partners as well. So is H.O.P.E. Haven. The reason we are here at this specific location is we got some calls, some concerned citizens and residents letting us know that there were some homeless people in the encampment here,” said Constable Garcia, “So we always offer housing. That’s something that we take pride in. That’s five years ago when we started; we created a homeless outreach team and our guys and gals have done an amazing job with that.”
