The African American Youth Harvest Foundation was featured in The Austin Chronicle in a news story about the City of Austin’s approval of an operator for the first trauma recovery center in Texas.
The article, written by Austin Sanders, reports that Austin City Council authorized staff to move forward with a 24-month contract with AAYHF to provide trauma recovery center services for survivors of violent crime and their families from underserved populations. The story also notes that the center will be developed in partnership with Austin Public Health’s Office of Violence Prevention and the National Alliance of Trauma Recovery Centers.
This milestone reflects AAYHF’s continued commitment to supporting youth, families, and communities through compassionate, culturally responsive services. By helping expand access to trauma recovery support, AAYHF is working to strengthen pathways to healing, safety, stability, and long-term community well-being.
