Dear Community Member,
Austin Public Health (APH) needs your help to learn what are the major needs for basic needs services in your community. We are asking Austin/Travis County residents to complete this survey to help us determine where to focus funding for the community. Click here to take the short Survey.
What does “Basic Needs Services” mean? Basic Needs Services support low-income individuals and families with the most basic needs for daily living such as food, utilities, household supplies and personal care. Basic Needs Services are often emergency or short-term services provided during or after a crisis or following a prolonged period of extremely limited resources.
Note: Housing and homeless services are funded through separate funding categories and are not part of this funding scope.
Please take the survey by February 3 – we value your feedback!
