Overview

Mission

Accessible, Affordable, Integrated Housing in Austin, Texas

What it reported doing in 2024

Maintain affordable rental housing for low-income people with disabilities and their families. Utilized seven rental properties but have a total of nine rental units. We have seven single-family properties totaling nine units and an additional 27 units at 1915 Briarcliff Blvd, 78723.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 67% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
