Dallas city council members ignore the vagrancy problem. Public safety is a civil right. Don't make it easy for people to live on the streets.

NGOs Lie to Dallas Leaders About Homeless Count Sign Up to SPEAK UP at Upcoming City Council Meeting |
|
|
Homelessness has only gotten worse in North Texas and "Housing Forward," which is the lead agency of Dallas and Collin counties’ homeless response system, is driving the sinking ship. Despite recent rosy headlines pushing skewed data, the real story can be seen by visiting Dallas’s own 311 website for reporting homeless encampments, and simply by taking a stroll through our downtown area which is riddled with vagrant waste and panhandlers.
|
|
All over the city, Dallas struggles to keep people off the streets. This is directly due to corrupt NGOs and agencies like “Housing Forward” who serve to enable the lifestyles and addictions of panhandlers preying on commuters' sympathy, and those currently breaking the law by violating our city's ban on urban camping. We are losing Dallas to vagrancy and crime brought on by poor enforcement, and a Leftist City Council who refuses to properly staff and fund our police department. Showing up to be heard is vitally important in advocating for any substantial, positive change. Your presence at the next meeting matters! Click the button and sign up to speak at the meeting NEXT Wednesday, May 15th!

| Auto Thefts Plague Downtown Dallas in April |
Motor thefts are up in downtown, with over 291 incidents in DPD sector 130. Dallas City Council must recognize this as a massive problem and fix it immediately. Dallas stands to lose its powerful economic position so long as crime continues to wreak havoc through the City! Read more...

Zero Action Taken on Abandoned Hospital Purchased by City... STILL
|
2929 South Hampton Road, an abandoned hospital purchased by the City Council years ago to create homeless housing, still sits vacant with little action taken by the council. A microcosm of the systemic issues that face our city, inept leadership remains stuck in decision paralysis!

No City Officials Fired Following Major Screw Up |
If you mess something up fundamental to your job, you will likely get fired. Not when you work for the City of Dallas! Ironically, a permitting office for Dallas was not fully permitted (let that sink in) and violated almost 40 fire codes just last month! Assistant City Manager Majed Al-Ghafry and Development Services Director Andrew Espinoza "accepted responsibility" and were "repeatedly thanked" for their failures - OUTRAGEOUS. Our city leadership is an absolute JOKE!

Executive Director Joseph Porter broadcasts on Facebook Live each week, documenting vagrant camps in the city and bringing you real-time updates on the state of homelessness and the apathetic response from Dallas city officials. This week, Joseph went live from Dallas City Hall to showcase the area's decline around it. Watch how he found over ten vagrant camps in under 15 minutes in the same block as City Hall.

District 2 Councilman Jesse Moreno
"Skid Row Camp" |
This camp in Jesse Moreno’s District 2 has been dubbed “Skid Row Camp.” One only needs to walk less than five minutes from City Hall to discover Dallas’s attempt at recreating the infamous ‘Skid Row’ from Los Angeles. This should be wholly unacceptable, yet our City Council encourages this behavior through horrible policy decisions. Expect sites like these to get worse, barring substantial political change. |

District 11 Councilwoman Jaynie Schultz
"North Dallas Freeway Camp" |
This camp in Jaynie Schultz’s District 11 has earned the title “North Dallas Freeway Camp.” This camp on the access road for Interstate 635 is just one of many similar sites. District 11 is filled to the brim with Panhandlers at every street corner. They have set up encampments following the interstate and at just about every underpass. |

District 6 Councilman Omar Narvaez
"QT Scourge Camp" |
We named this camp in Omar Narvaez’s District 6 “QT Scourge Camp.” Located across the street from a QuickTrip (QT) with considerable traffic, customers are greeted by an ugly sight of piled-up garbage and large numbers of vagrants. This camp has persisted since last year, and it has only gotten worse. City Council seems deadset on allowing spots like these to continue to fester. |

To Report an Encampment: Dial 3-1-1 or Call (214) 670-3111 and Click on your District Councilman to Email them with the Date and Camp Location.

Mission 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.
