Supported by the St. David's Foundation
Data for Equity grant, ECHO conducted a
community-based qualitative research
project in 2022, entitled "The Art of the
Heart is to Hear with the Ear," which has
revealed insights as to the accessibility
of the Homelessness Response System
for the Black unsheltered community in
the Austin area.

A UN panel is seeking input on human rights
violations related to policing Africans and
people of African descent. ECHO submitted
research that shows camping bans
disproportionately harm Black people
in Austin / Travis County.

2022 Collaborative Application and Final
Priority Listing are available for public review.
