Austin State Supported Living Center closure forces dozens out
AUSTIN (KXAN) — The Austin State Supported Living Center (AuSSLC) is closing several homes on its campus, which will eventually impact more than 100 of its residents.
Stephen Wallace is a father of one of the residents and says the news is very disappointing.
“Justin is 33. He is autistic, severely autistic. Restaurants, doctors offices, dentist offices, have told us don’t come back.”
For 18 years Justin lived with his family. But he was a danger to himself and others.
