Violet KeepSafe Storage has become a lifeline for hundreds of Austinites experiencing homelessness, offering a safe place to keep their belongings so they can work, apply for housing, or just move around town without carrying everything they own. But here’s the catch: the facility has been full for over a year, and there’s a growing waitlist. The real problem isn’t space—it’s not enough staff to help more people access their bins. For a city that’s spent over $400 million on homelessness in five years, expanding this cost-effective service could be a game-changer. How should Austin prioritize its next steps? #Safety #Austin #Homelessness
