At approximately 9 AM this morning, two individuals were seen sleeping separately on the front porch of El Progreso Memorial Library about one hour before the opening hour of 10 AM. At the same time, there were two others who were awake sitting on the opposite side of the porch along with some personal items.
A few minutes before 10 AM the sliding glass doors of the library opened, and a library employee shouted at the two figures lying prone on the concrete stoop telling the two to get up and “it’s time to go.”
El Progreso Memorial Library Director Tammie Sinclair said, “We have had homeless people before, but in the last week have had people try to put up a tent. We are working with Uvalde PD to help them relocate. UPD will be checking the library more at night and will be checking the garden for us.”
In 2014, The City of Uvalde experienced issues with homeless individuals camping on city owned property to the south of Uvalde Memorial Park along the river.
