Austin group joins statewide supportive housing collaborative

The Texas State Affordable Housing Corporation and Corporation for Supportive Housing have convened the latest cohort of the Texas Supportive Housing Institute, which aims to create 530 affordable homes across the state. The cohort includes a partnership with Austin-based entities Vecino Group and Family Eldercare. The team will focus on the development of Cairn Point Montopolis, a 150-unit senior community that will include 65 units of permanent supportive housing, 15 of which will be set aside for military veterans at risk of experiencing homelessness. “Each home created through the Institute transforms lives and builds safer, resilient neighborhoods. When communities invest in supportive housing, they save resources diverted from costly emergency systems and intuitional care,” Brooke Page, southwest director at CSH, said in a prepared statement. “TSAHC has been an invaluable partner in accelerating supportive housing development in Texas, and we are inspired by teams across the state dedicated to making a positive impact and building vibrant communities.”
