Thank You, Amplify Austin Supporters — And Here’s What’s Next!
House the Homeless (HtH), founded in 1989, is the oldest all-volunteer action organization in Texas working to prevent and end homelessness. Our mission is education and advocacy — and our goal is practical, doable solutions, including how to end economic homelessness here in Austin and across the nation.
We are deeply grateful to everyone who supported us through Amplify Austin 2026. This year, 25 generous donors raised $2,135 — with additional matches still forthcoming. Your generosity keeps this work going, all with minimal operating costs and an all- volunteer team.

Help Us Update Our Plastic Pocket Resource Guides
We are currently raising funds toward a $5,000 goal to produce the next edition of our

Austin. Every dollar helps us put these vital tools in the hands of people who need them
most.
