Units will be reserved for those whose incomes are 30% to 60% below the median family income, which was $95,000 in 2019. So, using those numbers, that's families who make roughly $33,000 to $65,000 a year.

The project will be spearheaded by developer The Vecino Group and the local nonprofit Caritas of Austin. Austin Housing Finance Corp. will also serve as a partner.
