Community housing

Building Austin’s future.

I completed the City of Austin’s nine-month Small Developer Program and took second in the final pitch. Topos is where that training shows up in the ground.

The Austin Equitable Development Initiative, formerly the Austin Small Developer Training, is a training, mentorship, and financing program for emerging developers who are rooted in the community.

Capital Impact Partners, part of the Momentus Capital family of organizations, leads it with HousingWorks Austin. The City of Austin funds it through the Austin Housing Finance Corporation.

I graduated. Nine months on community-driven and affordable housing, hosted by the City of Austin with HousingWorks Austin and Capital Impact Partners. At the final pitch I placed second. That is the 2nd Place Pitch Award.

Topos is the same wish, built. Density and cost, pressed down, so more Austin families can buy a home they actually want to live in.
