About The Community Concierge PRogram
The Community Concierge program is funded by the Hormel Foundation, Hormel Foods, Mayo Clinic Health Systems, and the Austin Area Chamber of Commerce, in addition to other local businesses.
Welcoming & Integrating Newcomers to Austin
Our Community Concierge program helps newcomers find housing, employment, and resources leading to meaningful connections in Austin.
Employers who want to attract and retain talent need to ensure their workforce puts down roots in Austin. That means professionals new to the area need to love where they live, shop and play, in addition to loving their jobs.

We offer a variety of newcomer events on a (roughly) monthly basis. Contact Kristen Olson to learn more.
