The Face of Homelessness
When you think of the word "homeless," what image comes to mind? Do you think about:
- A recently disabled veteran who has not yet been able to obtain her benefits?
- A young woman with children fleeing an abusive relationship?
- A senior citizen with a disability and no support system?
- A family hit hard by the economic downturn?
These are real families and individuals who have faced homelessness in the Austin area. Green Doors' goal is to return residents to self-sufficiency through stable housing, individualized case management and self-sufficiency programs. Explore our site to learn how you can help break the cycle of homelessness!
Building Independence
Creating Opportunities
Founded in 1990 by a formerly homeless young woman, Green Doors' mission is to prevent and help end homelessness and poverty housing for those working to achieve independent living in Central Texas.
Green Doors accomplishes this by: creating affordable, safe, quality housing; providing residents with access to supportive services; and educating about, and advocating for, individuals and families struggling with homelessness and at-risk for homelessness.
