Austins Place

Austin’s Place at CU at Home is a mid-barrier shelter that provides pathways to progress for women. Market Street. Washington Street.

We have recently (Summer 2020) merged with C-U at Home, and now the newly remodeled shelter is open in their existing location. The new space, C-U at Austin's Place, opened January 15, 2021. We remain an overnight emergency shelter for any woman who needs a safe and warm space to sleep. The women's shelter entrance is separate and private from the men's shelter and can be found at 504 N. Please note this is the northwest side of the building at 70 E.

Please help us spread the word!

With Summer right around the corner, we would love for our residents to be able to utilize the outdoor patios! ☀️ We are specifically in need of 2 patio tables with chairs to go around them, as well as some Adirondack chairs as well.

Please note that we would like to refrain from chairs with cushions, as we do not have an awning to keep them dry.
