Join RCAH

Join the Movement to End Homelessness in Austin

RCAH invites Austin congregations and social service agencies to join a growing coalition committed to supporting our unhoused neighbors.

Through a unique partnership with the City of Austin, members can redirect their drainage charges to fund emergency shelter beds, transitional and permanent housing programs, and wraparound services that make a lasting impact. This initiative doesn’t cost your organization extra—it simply ensures your dollars go directly into the community where they’re needed most.

  • Redirect Funds You Already Pay: Instead of sending your drainage fee to the city, you can divert it to RCAH—at no additional cost—helping fund grants for local homeless service providers.

  • Make a Measurable Impact: Together, participating congregations help allocate nearly $850,000 annually to fund housing, shelter, job training, mental health support, and more.

  • Be Part of Something Bigger: With 149 member congregations and a growing network of service agencies, you’ll join a community of faith-driven advocates working for real change in Austin.

Why Join RCAH?

  • Emergency shelter beds for individuals and families

  • Transitional housing programs with stability and support

  • Permanent supportive housing solutions

  • Wraparound services like job placement, mental and physical healthcare, case management, and navigational support
