Nearly 2,000 Austin families with children have no home, and most are stuck on waitlists because every family shelter is full.

This isn’t just about missing meals or school; it’s about daily trauma and families forced to hide out of fear. With the city’s budget vote coming up, shouldn’t safe shelter for families be a top priority? What would it take for Austin to truly care for its most vulnerable kids? #Safety #Austin #Homelessness
