This summer, volunteers plan to survey people experiencing homelessness, and by August, the city hopes to use those answers to come up with a plan to help them.
The city of Galveston hopes a new survey will help them figure out ways to help homeless people on the island and why the population keeps growing.As the summer tourism season kicks off, Galveston is looking to learn more about unwelcomed guests.
For months, they've tried to address the homeless population - an issue once again brought up during Thursday's council workshop meeting. They'll ask 25 questions, including where they came from, how they got here, and whether they want to return. "For those individuals who are on the island that may want to return to their place of origin or their home or where they were brought from," Brown said.
