As housing costs soar across Central Texas, area food banks and community organizations are making strides in an unprecedented initiative to address the region’s affordable housing crisis. The Apple Seeds Apartments project may help.

The San Antonio and New Braunfels Food Banks, the McKenna Foundation, and NB Housing Partners are spearheading the $12 million project.

The 52-unit housing complex will cater to families with children under the age of 15 and households earning 80% or less of the area’s median income (AMI). Apple Seeds Apartments will not only offer affordable housing, but will also incorporate food access, nutrition education, children’s programs, financial literacy, and community engagement opportunities.

Through the innovative project, the coalition of partners aims to address both immediate needs and foster long-term stability for our neighbors.
