Affordable
Housing
The Mary Lee Foundation currently manages ninety-six (96) one
and two bedroom apartments that are available to the public. Our purpose
is to make available affordable housing to the working poor, single parents with
young children and those on Social Security Disability. While all of the
apartments are open to any resident of the community, Mary Lee welcomes
individuals with mental or physical disabilities.

Long Term Care residents, along with a few Outpatient Rehab
clients live here.
In the past year, Mary Lee Foundation has received two
grants that will allow us to begin to rehabilitate the apartments and revitalize
the Square. The grants include:
1345/1347 Lamar Square Drive -
Mary Lee Charles Place The Mary Lee Foundation will
develop a 16-unit apartment complex on .48 acres in Austin, TX. The
project includes new construction of a small community center, installation of
an exterior elevator, and the rehabilitation of 16 one-bedroom units.
The Mary Lee Charles Place will be funded through a HUD section 811 grant and
will provide affordable housing and services to persons with mental or
physical disabilities. The apartment complex is part of a larger
"campus" that offers affordable housing to very low income families.
1322/1324 Lamar Square Drive - Mary Lee Community Mary Lee
Community recently purchased this 22 unit apartment complex with HOME funds
and a loan from the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB). A loan was recently
approved by the Austin Housing Finance Corporation (AHFC) to rehabilitate the
twenty-two units and to connect the two buildings with eight new
efficiency units. Special emphasis will be given to offer
housing to persons with special needs, single mothers with young
children and the disabled. Occupancy will not be exclusive
to these groups and will be part of the larger Mary Lee
Community which surrounds it.
