Homeless Veterans Furniture Program Two words that should never be used together “Homeless” and “Veteran” On a National level, we have approximately 67,000 homeless Veterans and over 200 living in the streets and camps in and around Austin. In a effort to assist the Veterans Administration homeless program, the City of Austin has partnered up with the Texas Association of Vietnam Veterans by collecting new and/or gently used furniture and household items. We are asking the community for donations in assisting our recently housed(no longer)homeless veterans as a way to give back to those who have honorably served our country. If you have any items you wish to donate, contact Tina Lee at tina.lee@austintexas.gov or (512)974-3306 or Emily Frenzel at Emily.Frenzel@austintexas.gov The City has a secured warehouse location to drop off the items and may be able to provide pick up on a case by case basis. All donations can be tax write offs.
