KUT NEWS AUSTINAustin's youth homelessness quadrupled in 5 years. This program helped some kids stay housed.
“After years in foster care, 23-year-old Bri Belcher was struggling. She had managed to find an apartment after she aged out of the system but wasn't able to keep up with bills. She got behind on rent and was evicted; overwhelmed and living on the street. Then in 2024, she got connected to the Targeted Housing Assistance Program through the Austin nonprofit LifeWorks.”
