Last week, we joined our partners at Foundation Communities to celebrate the ribbon cutting of Juniper Creek Apartments, their new 110-unit affordable housing complex in North Austin. 🎉🏡

At St. David's Foundation, we believe housing is a platform for health and are committed to advancing safe and affordable housing designed for and by our community.
