60-Unit Community Will Provide Secure Housing and Services for Vulnerable Groups

A $1.98 million Affordable Housing Program (AHP) grant from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas (FHLB Dallas), through member Texas Capital Bank will help fund a 60-unit supportive housing community for the housing-fragile population in Austin, Texas. A ceremonial groundbreaking was held this week to commemorate the occasion. The AHP grant was awarded to SAFE, an Austin-based organization that works to address and end multigenerational cycles of violence and abuse.

“We are thankful to FHLB Dallas and Texas Capital for their support of this much-needed housing for some of our most vulnerable residents,” said Julia Spann, CEO of SAFE.

The Sasha is designed to provide high-quality, secure housing paired with voluntary wraparound services for Austin’s most housing-fragile populations. The development will prioritize individuals transitioning out of homelessness, those at risk of homelessness, individuals with disabilities, youth aging out of foster care and survivors of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking.

“Investing in affordable and permanent supportive housing is a top priority for Texas Capital,” said Todd Jordan, Texas Capital’s Austin Market President. “With partners like SAFE, we are able to invest in projects that will have a positive impact on the lives of some of the most vulnerable members of our Central Texas community.”

AHP grants assist FHLB Dallas members in financing the purchase, construction and rehabilitation of owner-occupied, rental or transitional housing and housing for homeless individuals. The funds must be used to benefit households with incomes at or below 80 percent of the median income for the area.

“We are pleased to help bring this project to life to benefit those who need this critical assistance,” said Greg Hettrick, senior vice president and director of Community Investment at FHLB Dallas.

In 2024, FHLB Dallas awarded $78.9 million in AHP General Fund grants to 41 affordable housing projects. The grants will help create 3,571 new or rehabilitated housing units. Learn more about the FHLB Dallas Affordable Housing Program.
