we’re
here
We believe no person should live without shelter and an opportunity for a safe and fulfilling life.
To that end, we partner with the City of New Braunfels Workforce Housing
Advisory Committee and are working toward the following:
Goal 1: Reduce the percentage of housing-cost-burdened families in
New Braunfels through affordable rental and home ownership.
Goal 2: Preserve existing affordable housing stock and acquire sites for future workforce housing.
New Braunfels must offer a full housing spectrum – from emergency shelter to transitional housing
to long-term housing – for all income levels. Very few rental units for individuals who work full-
time and earn less than $19 per hour ($40,000 a year) are available in the community. Thus, many
gainfully and fully employed workers cannot meet minimum income standards for rental units.
