Building community and improving lives through quality affordable housing services in the Blackland neighborhood

Who We Are

At Blackland Community Development Corporation, we believe that everyone deserves a safe and affordable place to call home. Far too many families in our community struggle to find stable, affordable housing in central Austin. Since 1983, we have helped keep innumerable people from succumbing to Austin’s growing homeless population.

"Together we can make sure that everyone in Austin has a place to call home."

Our Roots

From our beginnings as a community of residents with low income pushing back against the powerful University of Texas, our story has been one of community power, fighting against the odds for dignity and justice in the form of affordable housing in a safe community. For the original residents who won in the face of immeasurable odds, we are The Dream, we are The Miracle.

We rely on funds from grants, the City of Austin, and supporters in our community who recognize the power and importance of the fight to Keep Austin Affordable. We can’t do it alone.

That’s where you come in. Your support will help us provide critical affordable housing solutions for low-income and working families in Austin. Every dollar you give brings us one step closer to building new homes, repairing existing ones, and providing families with the security and dignity they deserve. Nearly 80% of our funding goes straight to program expenses, directly to our tenants. Together, we can create stronger, more vibrant communities, one home at a time.
