Best Unsung Homelessness Heroes
Sunrise Homeless Navigation Center
The self-described "weirdest little church in Texas," South Austin's Sunrise Church (part of the Christian Reformed Church in North America) also calls itself "a movement of God's people that refuse to ignore suffering or be motivated by fear." For almost a decade now, that word has been made flesh at the Sunrise Navigation Center, which helps neighbors without homes access the services they need to be able to find and keep stable housing. It hasn't always been popular work, and at times it's been lonely, but Sunrise has delivered consistently even when much bigger public and nonprofit agencies have struggled.
