City and police officials will give more details Tuesday on how ordinances targeting people experiencing homelessness will be enforced. The local laws were restored after voters approved Proposition B earlier this month.
Starting today, it s illegal once again for people experiencing homelessness to set up encampments throughout most of the city.
Sitting or lying down in some stretches of Austin and panhandling at night are also against the law after voters this month approved a proposition to reinstate criminal penalties for those activities.
While those laws are officially back on the books, the city says it s not ticketing anyone yet for violating them at least not immediately.

When it comes to homelessness in America, cities such as Los Angeles, Seattle, and even Dallas might want to take a page out of Houston s playbook.
The southeast Texas city has managed to cut its homelessness rate in half in the last decade by using a coordinated strategy that includes partnerships between the public and private sectors.
Houston is the fourth-largest city in America, with a population of more than 2.3 million residents.
In 2020, more than 30,000 people in the Houston area Harris, Fort Bend, and Montgomery counties needed some type of homeless assistance. That number jumped to 45,000 if prevention and other services such as food or clothing aid were factored in, according to the Coalition for the Homeless. On any given night in the Houston region, there were 3,974 people living outside, according to the 2020 Homeless Count and Survey.
