About this Shelter

The Austin Shelter for Women and Children is a city-funded facility operated by The Salvation Army. 

Their goal as operator of the program is to provide wrap-around services designed to assist homeless women in ensuring that homelessness is brief, rare, and non-recurring.

Mission Statement: We provide shelter for those who otherwise face another night sleeping on the streets, food for families who are struggling to put a meal on their table, and financial assistance to individuals whose budgets are stretched to breaking point to help pay rent or utilities.
