A new interactive map on the City of Austin’s website is aimed at helping people experiencing homelessness identify locations to get aid during the coronavirus pandemic.
Vella Karman, interim homeless services officer for the City of Austin, said the map and other resources for the city’s homeless population can be accessed at austintexas.gov/homelessness. (You can also find the map below.)
The locations on the map include places to shower, get food, wash hands, use the restroom and charge devices.
For those who don’t have smartphones or a way to access the website, the city’s outreach workers are sharing the information in person and handing out fliers, Karman said.
