HomeNow:Austin is a pivotal connector and convener within our homelessness response ecosystem.
Who We Are
HomeNow: Austin is a coalition of nonprofits, service providers, funders, businesses, and community leaders committed to ensuring every Austin resident has a safe, stable place to call home. We unite diverse voices and resources to drive collaborative, lasting solutions to homelessness.
Where We Started
Our work began at the Finding Home ATX Summit, where hundreds of community members gathered to reimagine how Austin could address homelessness together. The summit set the foundation for a unified, coordinated effort – turning ideas into a shared movement.
Where We Are Today
Today, HomeNow: Austin is putting those ideas into action. We are building partnerships across sectors, amplifying the voices of people with lived experience, and aligning resources to expand housing opportunities, strengthen services, and create pathways out of homelessness.
In partnership with philanthropic leaders, public officials, corporate leaders, and service providers, HomeNow:Austin advances a shared community vision for an equitable system that increases and leverages resources to unify the response to homelessness across three counties.
To date, our collaboration has resulted in reaching 90% of our $515 million fundraising goal.
