Right now there are approximately 2,357 individuals living without housing in the Austin/Travis County area, with close to 980 homeless families within the school system representing approximately 1,300 children.

The Ending Community Homelessness Coalition's Speakers Bureau brings together those that are currently experiencing homelessness, those formerly homeless, and experts on the subject of homelessness to educate and advocate for issues that surround homelessness.

Our goal is to provide both a speaker with experience on the streets, and a speaker with experience in the social services field, to organizations that would like to learn more about the subject, and what they can do to help.

If your organization would like to request a speaker from the ECHO Speaker’s Bureau, please fill out the form available here.  For more information on the Speaker’s Bureau, please contact Jennifer Denton at jdenton@frontsteps.org.
