Overview

Mission

We work intimately in camps throughout the city establishing found family bonds through trust transparency lack of judgment joy and dependability. Within the past year we have been directly responsible for placing over 150 Black & Indigenous Austinites into housing largely through unpaid labor and empowering the unhoused community to work towards collective justice.

What it reported doing in 2023

Ranges from: Visiting for an hour-ish every couple of days. Staying at the hospital until we both leave or they are admitted system-impacted people are admitted less frequently and the more marginalized intersections someone is the lower their care might be. Sleeping overnight in the ICU or ER until they wake up then visiting daily every other day having a support system increases chances of recovery. Pushing back at hospital staff if they default to treating a patient as drug-seeking fighting for care when someones been Narcaned EMS regularly Narcan unhoused folks as a line of offense-not because they know they have used drugs because if they have Narcan can be a miracle. Educating staff on bedside manner and why a patient is acting how they are and how to find a solution hospitals have strict meal schedules but you can request double portions. When someone is unable to access their drug of choice it can be physically painful. More food especially sweets helps calm nerves.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
