Community Overview

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

The Community Overview 2001 was researched and written by the Research and Planning Division of Travis County Health and Human Services and Veterans Services, with assistance from numerous individuals in the community. We attempted to include all those who had a part in this undertaking, but if we have inadvertently omitted anyone, we apologize and ask that you inform us so that we may recognize you appropriately as the process continues. Thank you for everything you have done.
