"Our outreaches at the Austin Central Library and other locations served many people in 2023 and helped us meet a record number of new clients."

National data shows us that homelessness is increasing. More than 653,100 people were homeless across the country in January, according to a head count conducted for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

Our outreaches are proving useful in connecting us to new clients. Additionally, word that spreads on the streets about SYMin helps homeless youth find us. Many homeless youth will watch to see how organizations treat all homeless individuals. Our outreaches do not discriminate based on age and provide all with basic needs: food and hygiene supplies. When youngsters see how we are able to help other homeless folks, they are more likely to trust and approach us. We have solidified outreach at the Austin Central Library and visit the location on Tuesday and Thursday of each week. We have also expanded to new locations such as Barton Springs, the Terrazas library branch, Republic Square and Texas Harm Reduction Alliance. We also plan to establish an outreach to West Campus near our previous location in 2024 to stay in touch with the population there.ย
