AUSTIN — An Austin family service and support center is looking for help in repairing its basement and roof, which were damaged in severe flooding nearly two years ago. A House In Austin is a parent-child resource hub at 533 N. Pine Ave. that offers social, educational and holistic support for West Side families. The group is leading a campaign, called Raise The Roof, to raise $45,000 for roofing repairs, electrical upgrades, fence repairs and to fix damages from the summer 2023 flooding.
