Foundation Communities

When we say Burleson Studios will be supportive housing, we mean residents will have access to an array of services designed to help them find more stability and feel like they're part of a community that cares. The City of Austin has been a generous partner of ours, especially funding our resident services. We were pleased to have Mayor Pro Tem Vanessa Fuentes and the City of Austin's Homeless Strategy Officer David Gray speak at our Progress Celebration this week.

We are incredibly thankful to the Travis County Commissioners Court for its financial support of $12 million for Burleson Studios. At the progress celebration for this supportive community we're building in southeast Austin, County leaders expressed why they're pleased to be a part of this development.

It has taken a lot of work from area leaders to make the construction of Burleson Studios possible. State Representative Lulu Flores addressed that at our progress celebration this week. On behalf of the residents who will find a home at Burleson Studios, THANK YOU!

At the Burleson Studios progress celebration, we also celebrated partnerships, like the one between Foundation Communities and Mobile Loaves & Fishes. MLF is basically giving us the land for this supportive community as part of an expansion of their Community First! Village. MLF's CEO Alan Graham spoke about that, and about Tito's Handmade Vodka, who donated the land to them.

One of the many heartfelt moments at our progress celebration at Burleson Studios came from our Executive Director Walter Moreau. Next summer we plan to welcome home 104 of our neighbors to this supportive community in southeast Austin, people who are homeless or very close to being homeless.

As policy changes threaten health coverage for low-income households, Foundation Communities is seeking a Senior Program Manager to lead our Health Coverage Program through change and keep our community connected to care.

Change takes all of us: donors, volunteers, and neighbors willing to take action and learn. On Oct. 21st join us in fighting family homelessness by doing one, two, or all three of these simple tasks!

It takes a community to change a life. With $1,200, one family can leave crisis behind — enough for a deposit, first month’s rent, or overdue utilities. That’s the power of Amplify Home. On October 21, your generosity can turn fear into stability, and instability into hope.

No one can tackle family homelessness alone. That’s why Amplify Home brings together some of Austin’s most dedicated nonprofits, all working to give kids and families the stability of home 💙 Swipe through to meet the partners making this day possible: ➡️ Foundation Communities: Providing affordable homes and on-site support for families. ➡️ The SAFE Alliance: Stopping abuse and supporting survivors. ➡️ LifeWorks Austin: Ending youth homelessness through housing, mental health, education, and workforce services. ➡️ Caritas of Austin: Building well-being by housing people and preventing homelessness. ➡️ Sunrise Homeless Navigation Center: Connecting families to safe, affordable housing and resources. ➡️ Saint Louise House: Empowering women and children to move from homelessness to independence. ➡️I Live Here I Give Here: Connecting you with causes you care about.
