A lawyer who owns an office building located near The Beacon, a day center for homeless people in downtown Houston, filed a suit against The Beacon and Christ Church Cathedral on Nov. 23 seeking a permanent injunction to shut down the operation on the ground it’s a “private nuisance.”
“This humanitarian effort, under most circumstances, would be admirable. However, what started as a good and noble idea, has instead grown and turned into a danger to the health and safety of others in the adjacent areas and a ‘nuisance’ to neighboring property owners,” the plaintiffs allege in the petition filed in state district court in Harris County.
