Veronica Briseño, Austin Interim Homeless Strategy Officer

Homelessness in Austin

Austin has made significant progress addressing youth and veteran homelessness, but more work needs to be done. 

Veronica Briseño, Austin's newly appointed Economic Development Director, will join us to speak on homelessness in Austin and what the city is doing to address this critical issue.

Briseño currently serves as the Interim Homeless Strategy Officer (HSO) and coordinates the City’s homeless response activities with multiple departments. She will transition into the top leadership role of the Economic Development Department effective in late June of 2019; however, Veronica will remain as Interim HSO through the end of July when a new Homeless Strategy Officer is expected to be on board.
