CVM provides free, 24-hour nationwide voice mail to people in crisis – connecting them to jobs, housing and hope. It is a free service for people who have a case manager.

The Austin CVM program is part of the national network of CVM sites, empowering people in crisis or in difficult life transitions by distributing free 24-hour voice mail nationwide – directly linking individuals to jobs, housing, safety and stability.

How it Works

Users receive a personal phone number (with a 512 area code) and create their own personal greeting. They have the ability to retrieve/receive messages 24-hours a day from any landline phone. Only the user will be able to hear messages. The system works like a regular phone with voice mail capacity and enrolling is easy!

Testimonials

Here’s what a CVM user had to say:

I was homeless for five years. I used CVM, got a job and a place. I have not been homeless since. I love CVM and it works! Please support this program!

-Sandra Harrison, CVM Consumer
