## Resource

Austin’s sweltering summer is heating up — and city leaders are racing to protect the most vulnerable. With triple-digit temps looming, officials are deploying data-driven strategies to target cooling centers and outreach efforts where they’re needed most. Despite centers being open, usage remains low — prompting urgent questions about accessibility, awareness, and appeal. Meanwhile, grassroots groups like Trinity Center Austin are stepping in, offering lifesaving refuge for those who can’t easily escape the heat — a critical lifeline as the city braces for a brutal heatwave.
