They have been able to provide safe and comfortable housing for disabled people and single parents or low income families at various properties with minimum disruption to neighbors. There is a real need for some affordable housing for targeted populations in the central Austin area. There is room downtown for a socially and economically diverse population. It makes for a more interesting city in the long run. Check out their web site for a listing of their various properties. They are a great community asset.

Foundation Communities is an amazing non-profit! One of the coolest things they do is provide after-school mentoring and classes for the children living at their sites. At the M Station (by the MLK rail stop) they have boosted the average GPA of their kids to over 3.5!
