Our Mission
To prevent and end homelessness for people in greater Austin.
What We Believe
Caritas of Austin believes that when every person has a stable place to call home, they can realize their full potential and contribute to our community. We build wellbeing by making sure people have a safe home, access to healthy groceries, jobs that provide a reliable living wage, and educational opportunities to learn life skills.
Who You’re Benefiting
Each person Caritas serves shares the experience of homelessness — some have lived on the streets of Austin for years, others are more hidden, living in a car or temporary shelter. In every case, the work begins with homelessness, but never lets it define someone’s future.
