HOUSING OPPORTUNITIES FOR MUSICIANS AND ENTERTAINERS
Mission Statement
HOME (Housing Opportunities for Musicians and Entertainers) was founded by a group of compassionate women in Austin, Texas, to support aging musicians who have contributed so much to the city’s vibrant music scene. Many of these artists have spent their careers without traditional safety nets, and as they grow older, housing insecurity and financial challenges become increasingly urgent. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, HOME channels the generosity of Austin’s music lovers into direct financial assistance and critical resources for these musicians. Beyond grants, we connect them with support services to help create stability and security in their later years. Our mission is to honor and support the musicians who put Austin on the musical map by providing the safety net they often lacked throughout their careers. By doing so, HOME helps preserve their dignity and sustains the cultural legacy that defines Austin’s unique musical identity.
