The Organizing Director will play a vital leadership role in catalyzing collective action to address homelessness across Central Texas. As the strategic engine behind Finding Home ATX’s communications, organizing, and fundraising efforts, this role offers a unique opportunity to shape and amplify a unified community response to homelessness. The Organizing Director will work closely with a collaborative Leadership Group composed of the Downtown Austin Alliance, ECHO (Ending Community Homelessness Coalition), the City of Austin, Travis County, and a range of private and nonprofit partners. Together, they have coalesced around a shared goal: to create an equitable, data-driven, and lasting response to homelessness in Austin and across Travis, Williamson, and Bastrop counties. This is a rare chance to guide a regional coalition that has channeled over $465 million in investments toward transformative impact—an infrastructure poised for renewed leadership and strategic direction.
This part-time, flexible contract role is ideal for a respected Austin leader with a deep understanding of systems change, political dynamics, and the power of collaborative strategy—someone ready to shape the next chapter of homelessness response in Central Texas.
