Speaker Highlights: Speaker was introduced by Grant Sparks. The speaker, Veronica Macon, is the Vice President of the Austin Housing Authority. She gave us some startling statistics on the number of units, residents and waiting times. APHA has 19 properties and partners with other organizations to provide a wide range of services to the community. Funded primarily by HUD, the authority works to break the cycle of poverty and build strong families. The Community Development Program receives approximately $500,000 per year in grants. She took questions afterwards
