Organizational Goals and Insights
Our first step in helping the unhoused community in Austin is establishing a safe place for women.
This involves two things:
Helping Women First
Emergency Women’s Shelter provides emergency shelter, counseling, and case management at a confidential, secure location for homeless women and children.
A Women’s Home provides an intimate, safe community as a next step for six or seven women. This discipling home will be close to a bus line, within walking distance to shopping, groceries, and job opportunities as women heal and grow together in a healthy community.
To help us bring this vision to fruition, contact HOPE ON THE WAY or donate here:
EMERGENCY HOUSING
Immediate access to a safe environment where anyone can show up as they are and receive help and love.
TIERED HOUSING TRANSITIONS
As a person transitions from the street, they have the opportunity to move from a tent to a dormitory to individual housing.
24/7 MANAGEMENT
Provide a modicum of safety and security missing in life on the street, which builds a foundation for healthy relationships.
SPIRITUAL GROWTH
Deal with childhood trauma and establish a foundation on the word of God that restores freedom through the Father's love.

On-site community services to grow people in spiritual and emotional maturity as they step into their God-given identity.
