Austin Street Center “Help Them Home” Project: Designed for Dignity
“It is not OK for someone to be homeless.”
— MYSHEM GEORGE, CHIEF ADVANCEMENT OFFICER OF AUSTIN STREET CENTER
This driving belief has motivated the Austin Street Center since its creation over 35 years ago, and it has led to the aid and transformation of countless lives. What began as an emergency shelter for men over the age of 45, expanded to help women over the age of 18 only a few years later, providing food, clothing, a shower and a place to sleep to those who most needed it.
