The Libraries Supporting Community Mental Health initiative will provide grants to 13 public libraries in Texas to strengthen the mental health and well-being of communities by supporting their current community partnerships and establishing new connections.
For this year’s Hunger Action Month, we invite everyone to volunteer their time and support to the vital mission of feeding people and improving food security.
The Austin Public Library system provides some of the most visible and accessible third space systems in the city. It is a network of spaces that serve people across ages, backgrounds, and life experiences.
In this episode of Into the Fold, we speak with Dawn Capra, Director of Housing Advocacy at the Texas Housing Foundation. She describes how well-coordinated and respectful cooperation between community organizations supported both the logistical needs and emotional well-being of displaced residents.
Trust is the foundation of every system that is supposed to support us—schools, hospitals, mental health services, and even the justice system. But for many communities, that trust has been broken again and again.
As we move forward, the foundation will continue to show up in communities with the spirit of collaboration and listening to learn.
