HACA awarded Integral Care 45 Housing Choice Vouchers to support residents of its new permanent supportive housing project, Studios at Menchaca. This apartment community will include 45 efficiency units complemented by a resident lounge and kitchen, courtyard, computer lab, case management offices, and space designated for employment services.
Capital A Housing, a local Austin developer of affordable and mixed-income housing, has partnered with Integral Care to oversee the development of the project. The project’s primary goal is to expand Austin and Travis County’s homelessness response system by providing at least 45 units of permanent supportive housing for unhoused individuals with significant mental health and substance abuse issues. Capital A Housing is developing the site as a turn-key building and handing it over to Integral Care to be both the owner and the supportive services provider.
This project is part of the Travis County Supportive Housing Collaborative, in which seven local non-profits have banded together to coordinate the allocation of $50 million in American Rescue Plan Act funding administered by Travis County and construct new supportive, homelessness response housing.
