DCHHS TB Prevention Division, Dallas County Housing Agency, and Dallas County Welfare provided support services to the moving of the homeless encampment at Second and Third Avenues. DCHHS provided TB testing and assisted in moving clients from under the bridge. Due to the various homeless encampments and the transit movement of the homeless, DCHHS continues to look for chronically homeless, who will not sleep in a homeless shelter, because they prefer their own freedom. DCHHS will continue to locate the homeless encampments to provide the TB testing. The services provided at the homeless encampments are a testament of the commitment by the DCHHS TB, Housing Agency, and Welfare Division to provide health and human services on the front lines
