Austin, TX leverages cross-department expertise with Homeless Encampment Management Team

Austin, TX Homeless Encampment Management Team Expertise

Complete

Local officials sought a centralized approach to managing encampments on public property. The HEMT divides departments into Leadership, Operations, Planning, and Policy sections based on staff knowledge. An online HEM tool supports encampment ratings for potential cleanups and closures by property-owning departments. This multi-department approach also identifies encampments for additional services through the Housing-focused Encampment Assistance Link (HEAL) program.
