Far too many families in our community struggle to find stable, affordable housing in central Austin. Since 1983 , we have helped keep innumerable people from succumbing to Austin’s growing homeless population. with right to return and anti-displacement housing.
From our beginnings as a community of residents with low income pushing back against the powerful University of Texas, our story has been one of community power, fighting against the odds for dignity and justice in the form of affordable housing in a safe community. For the original residents who won in the face of immeasurable odds, we are The Dream, we are The Miracle.
All community support we receive brings us one step closer to building new homes, repairing existing ones, and providing families with the security and dignity they deserve. Together, we can create stronger, more vibrant communities, one home at a time.
