    Days until Amplify Austin:

    At just 18, Yvonne Alaniz was an unemployed mother of two on the brink of losing her home. When she discovered her husband had spent their mortgage money on drugs, she left to protect her children. Through HACA’s Family Self-Sufficiency Program, she finished school, became a registered nurse, and used credit counseling and down payment assistance to finally buy her own home.

    Scholarships

    Education is the gateway to opportunity. With Austin Pathways scholarships, residents can pursue high school degrees, college courses, and workforce certifications—equipping them with the tools they need for lasting success.
