"A Home to Call My Own" Campaign - Double your Impact for Avondale House!

Avondale House is embarking on an expansion initiative to open an additional residential home dedicated to providing 24/7 care for six new adults with moderate to severe autism. This expansion will not only address the immediate need for housing and support for individuals with autism, but also ensure that these individuals receive the specialized around-the-clock care and attention they deserve.


An incredibly generous anonymous donor has pledged to match $400,000 of non-fundraising event gifts received through September 2024. We are happy to report that we have already raised 76% of the funds needed and need your help to reach our goal!



Please make a generous gift to help us achieve this target and provide a safe, nurturing home to call their own for six adults with autism. Your continued generosity will provide immediate and critical support for families who have waited over a decade to receive access to the 24/7 care and support their child deserves. Together, we can ensure that six individuals and their families have a lifeline that lasts their entire lifetime.

Avondale House news feature!

Our very own Chief Executive Officer, Steve, was interviewed and featured in a recent ABC13 segment. Check out the clip here, discussing caring for the developmentally disabled and the shortage of direct support health care professionals in Texas.


We are so thankful to the incredible direct support professionals we have to serve our program participants! Thank you for all that you do!
