In Austin, there are over 2,000 individuals without a safe place to sleep. There are many reasons a person can become homeless, and these reasons range from the lack of affordable housing to the loss of family and community. In 2017, the Innovation Office secured a three-year $1.25m grant from Bloomberg Philanthropies to focus on the city's goal of ending homelessness. The grant funds an i-team to help the city identify the best ways for City Council, departments, and the community to collaborate towards a shared understanding of homelessness in Austin.
This session from FormFest 2024 focused on improving service delivery by hearing about work in multiple cities to rapidly digitize service delivery and work by the Department of Veteran Affairs around implementing service design principles in form revisions.
