Keeping Music in Austin Alive and Well

“Having HAAM allowed me to afford all of the appointments and medications I needed to get back to being in fighting shape for the stage!”
— Jamie Bahr - HAAM Member
““In a city where a huge part of the culture (musicians) is getting priced out and finding it increasingly difficult to make a living, HAAM has filled a crucial void by providing services to those who put Austin on the map.””
— Faddi El-Assad - HAAM Member
““Not only has HAAM helped me navigate the complex world of healthcare and given me easy access to essential services, but as a Type 1 Diabetic, they literally help keep me alive.””
— John Pointer - HAAM Member

These artists represent not just different musical genres, but the diverse paths that lead creators to make Austin their artistic home.

Information and Resources for SIMS Service Pause

The SIMS Foundation announced the pausing of most services for a 90-day period, from November 1, 2024, to January 31, 2025, to restructure and develop a sustainable service model going forward.

Over the last 20 years, HAAM has worked alongside the SIMS Foundation as a partner  organization to improve the mental health and wellness of our music community. During this time of change, we are working to keep our community informed and connected to the care they need. Many of us know the invaluable support the SIMS Foundation has provided to Austin's musicians over the past 30 years to ensure that mental health and substance use recovery services are within reach. We are working closely with SIMS to be supportive partners as their organization makes significant changes.
