About
Foundation Communities

Since 1990, Foundation Communities has been creating more than just affordable housing — we build, buy, and manage communities where people have the opportunity to succeed. As a local Austin-based nonprofit, we provide attractive, affordable homes paired with free on-site support services for families with children, veterans, seniors, and individuals with disabilities.

Today, we operate 31 apartment communities — 28 in Austin and 3 in North Texas — offering stability, opportunity, and a real sense of home. Whether we build from the ground up or acquire existing properties, our focus remains the same: to provide quality housing with real support behind it.

We believe everyone deserves the chance to succeed, and that housing is the foundation for that success.
