A
veteran
before
I
worked
for
the
city,
I
did
not
I
did
not
even
know
what
veteran
services
Chaplin
15
was
and
there's
a
lot
of
other
resources
that
I'm
aware
of
now
I
believe
I
did
not
even
I
was
not
even
aware
of
them.
So
I
guess
now
we
kind
of
do
it
word
of
mouth.
By
being
here,
you
remember,
hey
Kerr,
told
me
this
is
what
available
for
the
veterans
you
can
leave.
Their
contact
name
be
like
hey.

To
reach
people
who
don't
already
go
to
our
centers,
let
them
know
about
the
great
things
we
offer
and
hopefully
get
them
in
the
door.
It's
a
good
way
to
reach
people,
because
you
might
come
in
here
to
talk
to
one
particular
department
or
agency.
But
then
you
end
up
visiting
several
and-
and
you
may
have
an
interaction
with
another
department
that
you
didn't
plan
on
so
I'm
I'm
expecting
we'll
all
get
benefits
from
that
spill.
Over
effect,
I've.

The
Office
of
Fair,
Housing
and
equity,
we
investigate
housing
discrimination
in
the
City
of
Austin,
and
so
that
means
folks
can
bring
us
any
discrimination,
complaints
they
have
in
housing.
We
find
that
often
people
don't
know
there
are
a
lot
of.
There
are
a
lot
of
agencies
in
the
city
that
do
housing
work,
but
it's
really
hard
to
figure
out
who
does
what
in
housing
and
because
we
investigate
housing
discrimination,
people
don't
always
know
what
their
housing
rights
are.
So,
yes,
we
do
find
these
eventually,
the.
H
We
really
just
want
to
make
sure
that
recovery
and
substance
use
support
is
on
the
mind
of
every
city
department.
Currently
in
the
midst
of
a
national
opioid
epidemic,
where
people
are
dying
in
record
numbers,
accidental
overdose
is
the
number
one
cause
of
death
in
the
United
States
right
now.
So
we're
really
mindful
of
that,
and
we're
really
just
trying
to
stem
the
epidemic
and
do
what
we
can
at
the
municipal
level
we're
the
first
municipal
recovery
office
in
the
United
States.
We
really
urge
people
to
do
is
call
3-1-1.

A
The
fourth
time
we've
done
this
bringing
City
Hall
of
the
neighborhood
we're
in
Jamaica
Plain
tonight.
People
are
excited
people
love
the
idea
of
being
able
to
talk
about
city
services
and
they
can
go
right
through
the
department
head
or
cabinet
head.
So
we're
pretty
excited
about
this
and
I
think
we're
going
to
keep
this
going
for
the
rest
of
the
year
and
try
to
hit
everything
most
enables
in
the
city.
