Additionally, Jose Ruiz, City of Dallas Code Compliance spoke about the homeless encampments that are returning to the downtown area.  He advised that giving a homeless person money or food is not the best way to handle that situation.  He suggested the panhandlers be directed to the resources available to help:  The Bridge or Our Calling.  Mr. Ruiz’ cel # is 214-316-5555 or call 311 with concerns.
