st-homeless-populations-in-the-u-s?slide=11 Dallas has the 15th largest
homeless population, but the numbers are even worse when you only
compare the cities of Texas. Austin’s homeless population has grown to
3,157 while Houston has hovered around 3,124 homeless individuals in
recent years.
Both of these cities are notorious for having noticeably
high levels of vagrancy, but somehow, Dallas is worse with a staggering
population of at least 4,410 homeless.
Homelessness in the U.S. began
to skyrocket after the federal government mandated the Housing First
approach, which places vagrants and the homeless in free or
reduced-rent housing without any work or sobriety requirements.
[link removed] In
fact, since 2013, homelessness in the U.S. has increased by nearly 25%.
With the 15th largest homeless population in the nation, Dallas is
clearly suffering from irresponsible government programs.

However,
not all Texas cities are seeing an increase in homelessness. In 2003,
the homeless population of San Antonio was an unbelievable 25,000, but
it has since decreased to only 2,995. That is an incredible 80%
decrease in downtown homelessness!

formational-center/ The secret is the city’s Haven for Hope model, which
centralizes services for the homeless into one location. Currently,
homeless services in Dallas are spread all across the city, and the
people who need them often don’t know where to look.
A centralized
solution has two main benefits. First, services are easy to access for
homeless individuals who want to get back on their feet. Second, anyone
living on the streets outside of this designated area can be recognized
as a willfully homeless vagrant or someone who does not have the mental
ability to seek help on their own. This allows the police to enforce
Texas’s urban camping ban, making the city safer and cleaner.
The
reality is undeniable: responsible cities centralize homeless services.
Are you tired of seeing tent villages spread across Dallas? Do you
worry about your safety walking through public places?

Contact your
city council member. Ask them why they refuse to abandon failing
government programs and seek real solutions. Tell them Dallas needs to
centralize homeless services to help the homeless and get criminal
vagrants off our streets!

Murders of Blacks &
Hispanics Continue to Climb in Dallas
Our city council uses misleading
terms like “racial justice” and “equity” to justify hateful policies
that leave some neighborhoods unprotected from crime and violence.
Left-wing activists believe that proper policing is racist and leads to
the death of minority residents, but the lack of police presence in
Black and Hispanic neighborhoods only leads to more deaths and
destroyed lives. Black and Hispanic residents of Dallas deserve safety,
too!

  Dallas Police Need Help Locating
Suspect of Fatal Hit-And-Run
The lack of police on our streets
emboldens criminals to try and escape rather than face the consequences
of their actions. The Dallas Police Department simply doesn’t have the
manpower to properly patrol our streets, and there certainly aren’t
enough officers to track down the perpetrators of every unsolved crime.
We need more cops on our streets to keep us safe and to deter
criminals!

  Dallas’ Lack of 4k Cops Puts Strain on Response Times
So many
public safety issues in Dallas stem from the fact that the Dallas
Police Department (DPD) is understaffed by nearly 1,000 officers.
Perhaps the most obvious issue is the sluggish response times residents
experience when they call 911. On average, it takes police 169.8
minutes to respond to burglary calls in central Dallas. By the time
officers arrive, the criminals are long gone. DPD needs to go from
3,000 to 4,000 officers ASAP!

Tracking Illegal Camps:
[link removed] Each
week the KDS team drives its planned route through Dallas
photo-documenting and cataloguing illegal encampments to inform the
city of these locations. Our team livestreams these activities giving
the community a first-hand look at the vagrancy crisis in Dallas.

In
this episode, we found more disgusting open-air toilets outside of City
Hall! [link removed]

 District 6 Councilman Omar Narvaez's
"Inconvenience Camp"
We named this camp in Omar Narvaez’s District 6
“Inconvenience Camp.” Need to stop by a convenience store? Well, this
one won’t work. Every vagrant camp in Dallas causes residents some
inconvenience, but especially the ones you find right outside of a
business. Whether you are a customer, an employee, or a business owner,
vagrancy makes it harder to feel good about being in Dallas.
 District 6 Councilman Omar Narvaez's
"Railroad Camp"
This camp
in Omar Narvaez’s District 6 has earned the title “Railroad Camp.”
Camps like this one are a danger to the whole area, not to mention the
people who live here. The KDS team has witnessed trains stopped on the
tracks because debris from a camp is blocking the way. Vagrants steal
public spaces for private use, and they put us all in danger, too!
 District 10 Councilwoman Kathy Stewart's
"Careless Camp"
This
camp in Kathy Stewart’s District 10 has been dubbed “Careless Camp.”
How much more careless can you get than to set up your bed and
belongings on a highly trafficked road? It may be convenient to live
right next to your favorite panhandling spot, but it's clearly
dangerous and irresponsible. On top of the serious danger this presents
for the vagrant and passing motorists, it makes Dallas uglier and
dirtier!

Statement:
Keep Dallas Safe exists to address crime and homelessness
in Dallas with the goal of transforming Dallas into the safest large
city in Texas for residents and businesses. We aim to have a City
Council that prioritizes crime rate which directly determines the
quality of life in Dallas. We do this by fighting against the "defund
the police" movement, holding accountable our city leaders' efforts
towards lowering district crime rates, and highlighting our city's
homelessness problems by pushing for enforcement of the prohibition of
urban camping.
