Family Stability
Foundation for the Homeless provides rapid re-housing through our Family Stability program for families with minor children experiencing homelessness. This is a multi-agency collaborative focused on case management for obtaining and maintaining safe and stable housing.
The Foundation for the Homeless Family Stability Program is not currently accepting outside referrals. Our referrals must originate with Austin ECHO. Please call 211 if you are currently housed and need assistance. Families experiencing homelessness should complete the ECHO Coordinated Assessment.
Utility Assistance (PLUS ONE)
Plus One provides utility assistance for Austin Energy Customers who are in need of assistance in paying outstanding Austin Energy bills. FFH can only assist individuals twice per 12 months, and individuals can not have hit their assistance cap within the last 12 months. For more Information call 512-453-6570.
Need Help?
If you are seeking housing services, Foundation for the Homeless accepts client referrals from the Austin/Travis Country Continuum of Care Coordinated Assessment list. In order to receive Foundation for the Homeless services, individuals must complete the Coordinated Assessment and be referred by ECHO's Coordinated Entry.
