Real Estate Radio Welcomes Walter Moreau and David Tandy of Foundation Communities

Founded nearly twenty years ago by University of Texas grads, Foundation Communities is a home-grown organization. Foundation Communities is a nonprofit organization that empowers low-income families and individuals with the tools they need to succeed. Founded in 1990, Foundation Communities provides affordable apartments and duplexes to more than 2,000 families. Foundation Communities owns 14 affordable housing communities‚ 11 in Austin and three in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area. They  have also developed a model of service-enriched housing that enables families with low incomes to permanently improve their educational and financial standing.

It takes more than a roof over your head to make your dreams come true. Foundation Communities helps families end the cycle of poverty through on-site programs that increase literacy and financial stability. Their Community Learning Centers, located right in the center of the community, are open daytime and evenings providing free services like a computer lab, pre-school class, after-school programs, teen clubs and ESL classes.

For the past 10 years, Foundation Communities have invested in green building initiatives to save on operating costs, reduce residents’ utility bills and because it makes Austin a better place to raise our kids — and grand kids. Sometimes green building is a roof covered with solar panels, and sometimes it’s as simple as replacing carpet with ceramic tile.

Foundation Communities is a national leader in the asset-building movement, offering low-income families and individuals a step up into the economic mainstream through financial education and homebuyer courses, matched savings accounts,financial coaching, finding money for education,self-employed/small business support and free income tax preparation.
