Home is where
the music is....

Picture
     We all know that HOME is where the heart is, but in Austin, Housing Opportunities for Musicians and Entertainers, known as HOME, is also where the music is.
     HOME was formed by a group of concerned women in Austin, Texas, for the purpose of providing housing aid and assistance for musicians in need. 
     HOME strives to create more security for aging musicians of the Austin, Texas, music scene, by pursuing low cost housing for them, and providing other assistance, including referrals to other available resources.  The performers who put Austin on the musical map have spent most of their careers working without a safety net. As they age, the fall from the tight rope becomes increasingly perilous. 

Mission

To provide housing aid and assistance for musicians, HOME works to channel the generous donations of those who love Austin music toward easing those challenges.

Welcome Home, Miss Lavelle.

​Legendary blues and soul songwriter/singer Miss Lavelle White, born in 1929, has inspired women and men on and off the stage for more than 75 years, since she wrote her first song at the age of 12. Today, at 87, she is still an amazing performer. Miss Lavelle is one of HOME's first and most grateful benefactors. Join us in providing a safety net for so many like Miss Lavelle who have given their hearts and souls to entertain, inspire and mentor us for so many years. 

Current Focus

We are currently focused on assisting with the housing needs of Miss Lavelle White, an international music icon. She is our pilot program and honorary recipient of our initial effort.   Program expansion to assist others is in the development phase currently.
