Some living near the old Candlewood Suites on Pecan Park Boulevard still have concerns about neighborhood safety after unwanted visitors were found on the property over the summer.
Neighbors living near the property gathered at Austin Councilwoman for District 6 Mackenzie Kelly’s open house Wednesday evening to find out what might be coming to their neighborhood.Since, Family Eldercare has taken over the property and renamed it Pecan Gardens.
The Director of Family Eldercare, Shontell Gauthier, said it’s being renovated into 78 units of permanent housing for homeless people with disabilities who are 55 years or older. She said there will be a vetting process for who can live there, everyone will sign a lease, there will be rules to follow, 24 hour security, a fence around the building, and only one way to come and go.
Northwest Commander for the Austin Police Department, Courtney Daniel, said this project is an example of a long-term solution for a complicated issue.
