Glen Oaks Corner

Austin, Texas

Green Doors provides permanent housing with supportive services for formerly homeless individuals and families. The program serves over 20 formerly homeless disabled adults and children annually. At Glen Oaks Corner, the head of the household for each of these families has a documented disability. While in the program, residents are expected to work toward the goals of achieving greater residential stability, increased income and self-sufficiency. The newly constructed homes, located in Central East Austin, received a five-star green rating for their energy efficiency and green building practices. Residents pay a rent of no more than 30% of their adjusted monthly income. All homes are fully furnished and contain a washer and dryer. Green doors also provides residents with a weekly food pantry, a computer, community garden, and outdoor playground area.
