Through your generosity, our parish is helping our neighbors who face a looming housing crisis. The issue of affordable housing, always a concern in Austin, is now at the tipping point. After months without work and few job prospects, many of our neighbors face outright eviction when the moratorium ends on September 30.

Contact your elected officials about this urgent crisis. In Austin, the moratorium on eviction proceedings ends on September 30. (We know we just said that.) People will move into unstable housing situations, over-crowded living conditions, or become homeless unless we ask our state and federal Representatives, Senators, and the White House to take action NOW! A quick link to find your representatives' contact information is in the section below.

Tell Congress commit a portion of our nation’s vast resources to protect low-income renters through direct rental assistance and to protect millions of renters from eviction. Learn more on our Housing Plaza or from on Keeping Americans Housed During COVID-19 from RESULTS. They empower you with clear statistics - please remember that each number represents a person though, people that our parish Outreach, St, Vincent de Paul Society, Gabriel Project, and Micah 6 volunteers know by name. September 30 will arrive quickly.
