Additional eligibility requirements apply.

Admission into Program
Interested families should call Pamela Johnson, Case Manager, at (512) 972-5795. Families may be referred by other agencies. Applying does not guarantee one’s admission into the program; therefore we recommend pursuing other housing options.

Affordable Housing Programs

What We Do

Our affordable housing programs serve qualifying families with children, senior citizens, and individuals with disabilities. All houses are located in the Blackland neighborhood.

Rental rates depend on income and type of house. Tenants are selected on a first-come/first-served basis, provided references are satisfactory. Section 8 vouchers are accepted; and twelve months of verifiable income and good rental history are required.

Affordable Housing for Families

This program serves families with minor children at or below 60% of median family income that do not require case management services.

Robert Shaw Village
