Welcome to Austin's House

Austin’s House provides shelter and care for up to ten children between the ages of birth to 18. The children are placed at Austin’s House after being removed from their homes due to abuse or neglect.

Austin’s House accommodates both boys and girls who are unable to be maintained in their own homes until they are either reunited with their family, or an appropriate long term placement is made.

Under the guidance of the placement agency, Austin’s House supports each child’s educational, health, and emotional needs.

Whenever possible, children stay in the school they attended before being placed at Austin’s House. The Austin’s House staff makes every effort to encourage and support participation in extracurricular activities.

Other child and family oriented services are available and offered to the community at large, including monitored visitation and exchange.

Austin’s House is a proud sponsor of the AmeriCorps Vista program (Volunteers in Service to America)
