Austin is in a housing crisis.
Everyone knows it. Everyone feels it.
This is why we have come together in partnership with Foundation Communities, Meals on Wheels Central Texas, LifeWorks Austin, Caritas of Austin, HousingWorks Austin and Keep Austin Affordable to advocate for what can be one of the biggest investments in our community for generations: the Affordable Housing Bond.
“Affordable Housing Bond” may sound complicated and over the next few months, you’ll see and hear us talking about it a lot. We’ve put together FAQs that you can use to become informed and to better understand why we are advocating for this — Proposition A — to be voted into effect.
Sign up for our advocacy list to stay up-to-date with the Bond and how you can get involved.

Texas Gun Sense
September 6, 2018 — Rio Texas MFSA
Vice News has released “Fear and Loading: Women and Guns in America“. The piece was filmed in Austin in April during the week of the National School Walkout. The Vice team traveled to Texas to explore both sides of the gun issue from the perspective of women. Interviews included Texas Gun Sense board member and gun violence survivor, Susan R. Nelson, a group of women at a “Girls and Guns” conference and the Austin students who organized the National School Walkout at the Texas Capitol.
We are grateful to our supporters and for all you do. Texas Gun Sense is ready to fight for common sense gun laws during the upcoming legislative session. Please consider a one-time or sustaining donation today – the work we do relies on the generous support of donors like you.
Texas Gun Sense is a statewide nonprofit and nonpartisan organization advocating for common sense, evidence-based policies to reduce gun injuries and deaths. For more information, visit www.txgunsense.org.
