More Than Housing — A Path Forward.

Our Story

Von Anthony House was established to address a critical gap in Austin's social services landscape — the need for structured, supportive transitional housing that bridges the gap between crisis and long-term stability.

We serve homeless veterans who have sacrificed so much for our country, individuals on the edge of homelessness who need a hand up, and those in recovery who have taken the courageous step of getting sober and need a safe environment to continue that journey.

Our approach is holistic — we don't just provide a bed. We provide community, accountability, and access to the services needed to rebuild a sustainable life.

Our Mission

To provide safe, structured transitional housing and comprehensive supportive services that empower homeless veterans, at-risk individuals, and those in recovery to achieve lasting stability and independence.

Our Vision

We envision a community where every man experiencing homelessness—especially those who have served our country—has access to safe housing, meaningful support, and a clear path to lasting stability, independence, and purpose.
