One of the best moments during our annual Volunteer Appreciation Party is when a Foundation Communities resident or client delivers a personal thank you message to the volunteers. Nolah Easterly from our M Station Learning Center did the honors with an honor roll-worthy speech!

Norman Commons Apartments is co-owned by Foundation Communities and the City of Austin's AHFC nonprofit. We could not have built it without $8.86 million from the City. It was our pleasure to have the Mayor Pro Tem and the director of Austin Housing speak at our Ribbon Cutting.
