There are about 43,000 people experiencing homelessness in Texas, and more than 3,000 of them are Austinites. We’ll take a look at the programs and services helping people get back on their feet here in the city. https://www.texasstandard.org/stories/esperanza-community-austin-ged-classes-adult-education-texas/

Most people have gone down a one-way street before – and downtown Austin is full of them. But it wasn’t always that way, and soon, we could be heading back to our old ways of two-way streets if a city commission recommendation moves forward. https://austincurrent.org/2026/01/26/austin-roads-traffic-downtown/

A local nonprofit supporting the Austin music industry has created a new fund. We’ll hear about why it was launched and what it means for venue staff working in the music scene. https://www.kut.org/health/2026-01-05/sims-foundation-austin-tx-dick-chalmers-music-venue-program-mental-health-fund
