Our Affordable Housing Program

The Clarksville Community Development Corporation runs an affordable housing program in Clarksville. Our program is the only one of its kind operating West of I-35 in Austin and one of the only affordable housing programs in the nation operating in an affluent neighborhood. Our 9 properties, which include single-family homes and duplexes, are scattered throughout Clarksville and provide low-cost housing to 15 families. 

The CCDC is currently adding to its affordable housing through the construction of a new single family home at 1817B West 10th Street. The project is financed by City of Austin affordable housing bond funds and a low interest loan from Home Base. Not only will this new home be affordable to rent, but it will also be affordable to operate because of its energy efficient design and materials. 

The CCDC board of directors establishes all policies for the organization’s affordable housing program and its property manager, Rose Gabriel, implements them. She is also in charge of the program’s day-to-day operations. 

We receive many applications to live in our housing and currently have a waiting list. To be eligible to become a CCDC tenant, your gross family income can be no more than 50% of the median family income for Travis County.
