People Experiencing Homelessness Housed at Kay Bailey Convention Center
“We’ve been working nonstop, 24 hours a day since then,” Walker said. He said some 300 people have already come to the convention center, more are coming by the hour and they expect a significant increase in the next few days. Though they’re successfully providing shelter, Walker said he’s still not sure how it’s all going to work out. “It’s kind of a worst case scenario in some ways, trying to figure out how to staff this thing, trying to figure out how to afford this thing,” Walker said. “We need all the community support we can get right now.”
