AUSTIN (KXAN) — For the past few years, addressing homelessness has been a top priority for Austin city leaders and nonprofits. But homelessness is complicated and addressing it can at times feel like an insurmountable or intangible challenge to the general public.
Enter Austin’s Week of Action to Support Ending Homelessness, a new campaign launched for the first time this year by the city of Austin, the Ending Community Homelessness Coalition (ECHO), and an assortment of local groups who work in homeless services. The week started on Aug. 27 and ends Sept. 2, each day looking to give Austinites a unique and simple way to have a hand in addressing homelessness.
