Hello friends!  Springtime is here, and with it, we celebrated the 26th birthday of Homer the Homeless Goose, our beloved homeless advocate and mascot.  Thankfully Homer is in remission from the cancer he once had, so please join us in wishing Homer many more years to come.  You can read more about him in this month’s featured online article.

If you enjoy that one, you’ll really love this months issue of The Challenger, crammed full with 20 pages of great content from our local writers.  Some will make you laugh, others cry, and some will really make you think.

Thanks as always for supporting our mission to end homelessness in Austin Texas!
