Unlike many parts of California, Houston is not exactly a welcoming environment (weather) for the unhoused.

It's built on a swamp after all.

The summer is a brutal mix of heat and humidity that basically runs from May through September with frequent severe storms or tropical events. October and November start to get cold and from December through March it alternates between the 70s and 30s. March and April are nice again as long as you can get out of the rain.

Houston does not exist without HVAC and living without it is difficult and frequently dangerous.
