Community Action Night: Resilience, Contracting & Summit Updates

The City of Austin Open Government Partnership team gathered on June 18th at Open Austin's monthly Community Action Night to share feedback from the international summit and updates on our projects.

Carmen Llanes Pulido from Go Austin Vamos Austin spoke on her organization's climate resilience work and the role of OGP, city departments, and most of all the neighborhoods affected by changes in temperature, rain, and air quality.

Robert Kingham joined the discussion with perspectives on the Austin Homeless Advisory Committee supported by his team at the Downtown Austin Community Court, and progress they've made sharing their model on the national and international level.
