My heart goes out Had being on the street myself And going through everything I have in the last two years I consider myself lucky.I will take action and raise awareness on this .
I am homeless, and I see a great need. I also have PTSD, and know that it is a difficult environment where safety is needed for women.
My understanding is that recent efforts to house the homeless (such as the otherwise wonderful Community First Village) are not geared to homeless women and moms. This basic need is so important; re: moms with kids, this is the next generation, and how we treat them defines us as a society. Please know this project has my full support and I hope to learn of other ways I can help. Thank you!
There are way too many women & children on the streets of Austin. I have also found that many are pregnant as well.
Asking folks to move along when they have no where to go is no solution. Women are historically more vulnerable as individuals, and, are often caregivers for children. A woman-specific shelter is needed.

If we can not take care of the most vulnerable of us, how human are we

Valerie was a family friend and is missed deeply by her family. In light of her death, I hope we can open a womens shelter to prevent other tragedies like this.
