Guns, drugs litter homeless shelter in blue Austin, Texas, whisleblower-filmed video shows
|
 [NYPOST] A homeless shelter in Austin, Texas, was shown on a whistleblower-filmed video to be littered with guns, drugs and drug paraphernalia — prompting officials in the Democrat-run city to scramble to address the facility’s deplorable conditions.
Former city employee Andrea Gipson recorded several videos inside the Northbridge homeless center throughout 2023 before she was placed on administrative leave on July 31 after complaining about the shelter’s conditions.
"Drug use, prostitution. There are assaults happening. There are folks being drugged and robbed right on site," Gipson told KVUE.
Her revealing videos showed the shelter in disrepair, with trashed rooms, guns on windowsills, collections of used needles, drug paraphernalia, machetes and knives strewn about.
In addition, shelter residents have been accused of cooking drugs in their rooms, getting high, engaging in prostitution and overdosing inside the facility, according to the Austin American-Statesman.
The Austin-based shelter has become overrun by homelessness and drug crises, causing major mayhem for locals.
City council member Mackenzie Kelly — to whom Gipson sent the evidence — sent an email to Interim City Manager Jesús Garza calling for an investigation into the Northbridge shelter, writing: "It has come to my attention that there have been several deaths within the facility, reportedly linked to drug overdoses.
"Additionally, I have been informed that drugs are being sold and consumed by clients inside the building, along with reports of prostitution taking place on the premises. Disturbingly, there have been allegations of clients assaulting each other, and even the presence of weapons such as machetes, knives, and hammers. I have a photo of a gun that was found in a clients’ room there, as well as drugs that were on [the] premises. Moreover, I’ve heard concerns that methamphetamine may be produced within the facility by clients."
Kelly called the shelter’s alleged issues "deeply troubling."
