Housing

Foundation Communities is in the midst of one of the largest affordable housing expansions in Austin’s history. Plans are underway for Foundation Communities to complete construction of several affordable communities located in various parts of Austin over the next three years.

This expansion will bring more than 1,000 new affordable homes to Austin for more than 2,000 lower-income Austinites, many of whom will transition directly out of homelessness. You can help by donating here.
