Inside Austin's Agenda: Addressing homelessness in our city
AUSTIN (KXAN) — On Wednesday’s Inside Austin’s Agenda episode, host Grace Reader will sit down with Ending Community Homelessness Coalition (ECHO) executive director, Matt Mollica.
They will discuss the recent Point-in-Time count, a resolution Austin City Council just passed that will make homelessness a top financial priority for the city of Austin, and recent research on homelessness published by ECHO.
The episode comes during a winter cold snap that is potentially deadly for people living outside. The last major cold snap Austin experienced in January resulted in at least 12 cold exposure calls, including two “fatal incidents,” according to Austin-Travis County EMS.
