ECHO (austinecho.org) has listed on their website many of the community resources available to help individuals and families either retain their current housing or find pathways from the streets and the shelters to stable and safe housing.
The organization utilizes a system of outreach to assess and determine the needs of men, women, children, veterans and families who are homeless or at-risk of becoming homeless. Working with a group of nonprofits, they connect homeless individuals to resources including prevention strategies, emergency shelters, rapid re-housing and permanent housing.
