New trade school at Austin homeless shelter hopes to give purpose, jobs to residents

New trade school at Austin homeless shelter hopes to give purpose, jobs to residents


An Austin emergency shelter is taking a different approach to the city’s homeless problem.

Advertisement

Instead of focusing solely on putting a roof over people’s heads, The Other Ones Foundation will start teaching some of its residents how to change tires, install an HVAC system, or fix a car.

“This is about finding purpose,” said Chris Baker, the founder of The Other Ones Foundation

For Baker, it’s purpose that’s driving this project.

“I dropped out of high school when I was in 9th grade,” said Baker. “I spent a couple years doing all kinds of stuff that high school dropouts do.”

Now on the other side of homelessness, he stands before a crowd Friday.

Advertisement

“All I wanted to do was to build sets,” said Baker. “That was what my dream was.”

So he returned for his high school diploma, then a bachelor’s degree in theater, and eventually his first job at a homeless shelter.

Advertisement

“Which leads to that, which leads to this,” said Baker.

It’s an invisible string of circumstances that finally leads him to Friday’s opening of the John Paul DeJoria Skill Center.

“The room we’re in right now is everything from taking apart every part of an automobile to understanding an engine,” said John Paul DeJoria, who donated a $350,000 grant for the project.

The center is an expansion of the Esperanza Community, an emergency homeless shelter in East Austin. Here, residents can learn the skills required for jobs like HVAC, auto-mechanics, plumbing, and other trades.

“It changes your life,” DeJoria. “You’re back in society, you have money, you have safety, you have a place to stay, and you are like everybody else.”

The first instructors will come from Austin Community College.

ACC, The Rework Project, and the Texas Workforce Solutions Capital Area will cover the tuition of eligible students.

“Central to our work at Austin Community College is loving our students to success, this is what it looks like,” said Donald Tracy, interim director of continuing education at ACC.

A ribbon cutting opened the center with a round of applause and a word from Austin’s mayor.

Advertisement

“It’s not just about recruiting jobs, it’s about putting Austinities, including the most vulnerable Austinites, in the jobs that are being created,” Mayor Kirk Watson.

This skill center is what Chris Baker thinks he was meant to do all along.

“If life is about finding purpose, found it,” said Baker.

And he hopes this place will help someone else find their purpose too.

“Everyone needs a purpose and no matter what your challenges are in life, there’s always something for you to have a purpose,” said DeJoria.

How Central Texas has voted in recent Senate elections

How Central Texas has voted in recent Senate elections


Democrats believe the 2024 contest between Ted Cruz and Colin Allred could break a decades-long losing streak in the Lone Star State.

Advertisement

A Democrat has not represented Texas in the US Senate since 1993.

Recent election results show Travis County is a Democratic stronghold for United States Senate hopefuls and the margin of victory has continued to grow over the past decade.

Advertisement

Fifty-nine percent of Travis County voters chose Paul Sadler during the 2012 Senate contest between him and Ted Cruz. 

That number stayed around 55 percent in 2014 when David Alameel carried Travis County in a losing effort against Republican John Cornyn.

Since then, the number has only grown.

Advertisement

Beto O’Rourke gathered 74 percent of Travis County voters in 2018 when he tried to unseat Cruz.

In the 2020 contest between Cornyn and Democratic challenger Mary Hegar, the margin of victory fell slightly with Hegar collecting 68 percent of the vote to Cornyn’s 29 percent.

Advertisement

Elsewhere in Central Texas, results have varied for Senate hopefuls.

Cruz claimed a nine-point victory in Hays County in 2012 with 51 percent of the vote, but only managed 42 percent of the vote in 2018, losing to O’Rourke by 15 points.

Cornyn saw a similar shift in 2020 when Hegar claimed a 6 point victory with 51 percent of the vote.

A majority of voters continue to support the Republican candidates in Williamson County.

Since 2012, the county has only went to the Democrats one time. O’Rourke collected 51 percent of the county’s votes in a two percent victory over Cruz. Cruz won Williamson County in 2012 by 20 points with 57 percent of the vote.

Cornyn would reclaim Williamson County for Republicans in 2020, gathering 50 percent of the votes en route to a three-point victory over Hegar.

Advertisement

Cornyn won the county by almost 30 points in 2014 with 62 percent of the vote.

Despite recent gains by Democrats in Hays and Williamson counties and extending their hold in Travis County, no Democrat has won a statewide Texas election since 1994.
