Housing


Our affordable housing communities provide more than a roof over people’s heads.


We also offer a wide range of opportunities for our residents and neighbors to transform their lives through on-site support services in the areas of
education, financial stability and health.

Foundation Communities owns and operates 29 affordable apartment communities, 21 for families in Austin and North Texas and eight efficiency studio communities for single adults in Austin. Learn how to apply for our housing here.

 



Benefits of Our Communities Include:

Family-friendly environments in close proximity to schools and public transportation.

Community Learning Centers with free after-school and summer learning programs for children and teens, as well as adult education classes like English as a Second Language, money management, and fitness and nutrition.

Commitment to green building practices and sustainability, including reduced utility bills and community gardens.

On-site support services in the areas of education, financial stability, and health.

Meet the Watkins Family!

Rebecca and Sunao fell in love after each served time in the Marines. Rebecca had health problems, which led to employment and housing challenges. After years of living in motels and a shed, the blended family found affordable housing and financial success at Lakeline Station.
