Along the banks of the Leona River to the south of Uvalde Memorial Park, there are at least two homeless camps set up with possibly more further down the river.
In a previous City Council meeting, Pastor Gilbert Limones of Casa El Shaddai addressed the Uvalde City Council in November 2023 asking for the City’s assistance in helping Uvalde’s homeless population. See story here
Uvalde City Councilman Chip King and other city representatives recently visited the area just South of Uvalde Memorial Park and shared this report with the Uvalde Hesperian.
“We went down there last week and found only two small camps. One was occupied by a man from Michigan who does not want any help and the other was occupied by a man from Uvalde. The man from Uvalde has since left leaving only the man from out of town,” King said.
