Our goal: Raise $75,000 by March 31, 2026, to support children in crisis across rural Nevada. Your gift provides more than a safe bed. It brings healing, stability, and hope to children across Northern Nevada who need a soft place to land.
Why Your Gift Matters
Every child who walks through the doors of Austin’s House is experiencing one of the hardest moments of their life. They arrive in crisis. Many come with nothing but the clothes they are wearing. Some have been separated from siblings. All are carrying fear, grief, or uncertainty.
Austin’s House exists to provide more than shelter. We create a home-like environment where children can feel safe, cared for, and supported while their next steps are determined. Our team offers emotional support, nutritious meals, clean clothes, warm beds, routine, education help, and the space to simply breathe and be kids again.
Your generosity makes this possible.
As the only emergency shelter serving children from all of Nevada’s rural counties, Austin’s House is a lifeline for dozens of agencies and hundreds of young people each year. Rising needs and increasing costs mean your support plays an even greater role in the stability and care of every child who arrives at our door.
When you give today, you help us say “yes” to the next child who needs safety, comfort, and hope.

More Than Just Foster Care
At Austin’s House, children experience something many have not felt in a long time.
A sense of normalcy.
A sense of peace.
A sense of belonging.
Our staff creates a warm and consistent environment where each child is met with kindness, patience, and understanding. They help with homework, cook meals together, play games, listen to stories, celebrate milestones, and offer support during tough moments.
Children arrive feeling uncertain. They leave having experienced care, stability, and hope.
Serving Northern Nevada’s Rural Counties
Austin’s House is not the only emergency children’s shelter in Nevada, but we are the only one serving every rural county in the region. Agencies across Northern Nevada rely on Austin’s House when a child cannot stay safely at home.
Your support ensures that:
• Every child from rural and frontier counties has access to immediate care
• Local families and caregivers have a trusted partner
• Children experiencing crisis are not displaced far from their communities
• Austin’s House remains a stable and ready resource whenever the call comes
This regional responsibility is significant, and donor support is essential to fulfilling it.
This is what your gift supports: meaningful moments that help a child begin to feel like themselves again.
