Local homelessness strategy agencies are preparing to review whether a plan to permanently rehouse thousands of Austin’s homeless over the next three years has reached its first benchmark, while city staff are also working to finalize short-term shelter options City Hall could pursue as local camping ban enforcement picks up this summer.
The new plan to expand permanent housing was developed during a March and April summit centered around unsheltered homelessness. That conference saw city officials, nonprofit representatives, business leaders and other community members commit to the goal of rehousing 3,000 people by April 2024. The summit plan has yet to be fully funded or see its overall housing framework mapped out, but the outline released from the summit set a deadline for the program’s first target of seeing 100 people rehoused by the end of June.
