Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton took time out from his busy schedule of suing the federal government to sue a tendril of the Austin homeless industrial complex.
Attorney General Ken Paxton has sued Sunrise Homeless Navigation Center (SHNC), a South Austin-based non-profit organization, alleging that it is “operating as a common nuisance in violation of Texas law.”
“In South Austin,” the lawsuit states, “a once peaceful neighborhood has been transformed by homeless drug addicts, convicted criminals, and registered sex offenders. These people do drugs in sight of children, publicly fornicate next to an elementary school, menace residents with machetes, urinate and defecate on public grounds, and generally terrorize the surrounding community.”
The suit goes on to say that it is SHNC “who is responsible” for the alleged issues.
“It permits this drug use on and around its surrounding property. And it then permits the homeless to linger in and around the community even if they are in an unstable state.”
Paxton’s suit also points out that the center “operates mere feet from an elementary school.”
The lawsuit is asking the court to stop the Sunrise Homeless Navigation Center from operating within 1,000 feet of schools, playgrounds, or youth centers, or in ways that disturb the surrounding community. Additionally, the state requests that the center be ordered to “close for one year.”
It’s my working thesis that the Homeless Industrial complex is a way to not only rake off graft and corruption for the left, but also launder money to donate directly to Democrats And what do you know? Search for Sunrise Homeless Navigation Center on Open Secrets yields 15 donations, all to Democrats, including Colin Allred and Kamala Harris this year.
Another thing: The Sunrise Homeless Navigation Center isn’t that large, yet they seem to have no less than 35 people on their board and payroll.
The Paxton lawsuit doesn’t delve into this, only the baleful effect importing drug addicted transients has had on the center’s neighbors. The new “social justice” approved “housing first” method of “fixing” homelessness is to just keep letting the drug-addicted transients continue using drugs. This actively prevents them from rejoining society as productive members, but is a great way for leftwing activists to keep farming them for government subsidies.
We have direct evidence of graft in previous Austin homeless programs, and this lawsuit by the state of Texas may turn up some very interesting tidbits in discovery…

This is wonderful new!
You are no doubt correct about the housing first model serves to keep the addict addicted. Watch body brokers, a movie about the rehab industry that does the same thing. Keeps the transients cycling through the business to keep the money coming.
