Testimonials.
The team “has the ability to create a 360 degree view of a project in order to find every flaw then make every improvement until it fits the City’s needs perfectly. I had never realized how much work and research goes into the design process until I saw this innovative team work.”
— Amber Price, ATC-EMS Paramedic, City of Austin
“Their research uncovered and shared the needs of persons experiencing homelessness, allowing us to develop robust programs to meet their needs prior to and during the COVID 19 pandemic. The team has designed and built services to address the needs of this very vulnerable population by ensuring services are accessible, reliable and effective.”
— Karen Dorier, Program Manager, Homeless Outreach Street Team (HOST) and COVID-19 Protective Lodges, Integral Care
