Austin Homelessness Advisory Council

Integrating lived experience


The Austin Homelessness Advisory Council (AHAC) is a group of people who’ve experienced homelessness and accessed services in our Homelessness Response System. Created by the City of Austin in 2017, the group consults on programs and initiatives throughout the Homelessness Response System. Now coordinated by ECHO, the group holds biweekly meetings to provide feedback on projects and priorities from the City of Austin, ECHO, and service provider partners.

Please note: AHAC meetings are not open to the public. If you would like to bring an agenda item before the Council, please use the form below.
