Trinity Center was founded in 1999 to offer comprehensive services to downtown Austin’s unhoused and low-income individuals, providing support that helps resolve homelessness. As the only day center operating multiple days per week in an indoor space, Trinity Center collaborates with 20+ partner agencies to connect individuals to critical resources. In 2025, more than 36,000 individuals accessed services at Trinity Center, including 1,000 who secured critical identification documents necessary to secure employment, healthcare, and public services.

The Impact Austin grant is unrestricted and awarded with a trust-based approach. Trinity Center proposes to expand access to their Summer Cooling Center initiative, offering individuals a chance to be indoors in the afternoon to shower, obtain fresh clothing, nap, and have dinner in air conditioning. In addition, Trinity Center would continue offering nutritious breakfasts, showers, clothing, ID assistance, transportation support, prescription health, and connections to healthcare and behavioral health providers.
