Choice, integration, and location
Accessible Housing Austin! (AHA!) has partnered with the Housing Authority of the City of Austin (HACA) to develop a three-story, 27-unit apartment complex that is accessible, affordable, and integrated housing. This is a wood-frame building serviced by two elevators in order to make both the first, second, and the third floors fully accessible to people with physical disabilities. This is an independent living facility. We have administrative staff on-site part time with office hours to serve our tenants.
The project includes 15 one-bedroom and 12 two-bedroom units. All units will include a bedroom(s), living/dining area, kitchen, and bathroom. The complex is located near two bus lines, one mile north of the Mueller development (Opens in new Window) and one mile east of Capital Plaza. The location offers access to jobs, doctors’ offices, grocery stores, shopping, and services.
We have achieved a coveted four-star green building certification from the Austin Energy Green Building program by including energy-efficient design, deeply affordable housing, access to public transportation, as well as numerous community amenities.
