Housing

We operate two affordable, supportive housing programs for people living with HIV and their families. Experienced case managers provide supportive services, guide residents through the process of finding and applying for permanent housing, and support them in achieving their personal goals toward independent living.

 Supportive Services Include:

Housing is an integral part of what we offer, but there’s so much more. The journey for residents to independent living and recovery is made possible by an exhaustive list of wrap-around social services that Project Transitions makes available to everyone in our programs:

  • Housing planning and goal-setting toward permanent housing

  • Guidance identifying permanent housing opportunities and support completing applications

  • Help gathering documents needed for housing, benefits, or identification

  • Support around substance use using a harm-reduction approach

  • Social skills building

  • Independent living skills

  • Social activities

  • Holiday activities

  • Community engagement

  • Community center open to all residents in every program

  • Computer lab

  • Food pantry onsite

Also connecting clients to partner agencies to receive other services such as:

  • Counseling

  • Medical and behavioral health support, including coordination with healthcare providers

  • Disease education

  • Resource education

  • Family counseling

  • Group counseling

  • Relapse prevention planning

  • Income and benefits support, including guidance navigating employment or disability benefit applications

  • Personal finance counseling and coaching

  • Career building skills

  • Hardship rental assistance

Residents are required to develop a plan of exit from day one, and we help them stay the course. Weekly meetings are scheduled with housing case managers to monitor progress, develop strategies to achieve independent living, and address areas of need.

Thrift

Top Drawer Thrift is a local Austin favorite among thrifters, vintage hunters and the very best of donors. The Top Drawer Family of donors, volunteers and staff have been finding new homes for all of the lovingly donated items and raising funds for Project Transitions since 1993.

After 30 years on Burnet Rd, in 2023 Top Drawer packed up their Iconic Sculptured Drawers and headed to their new home in the North Loop Neighborhood. Now residing on the corner of 53rd and Airport surrounded by other Old Austin Legends they fit right in as though they have always been there.
