AUSTIN-A renovated nursing home in South Austin will provide housing for people making the transition from homelessness. The Austin Housing Finance Corp. has approved spending nearly $1.3 million to acquire and develop the 85-room building.

The Garden Terrace Apartments, located at 1015 William Cannon Blvd., will be developed in conjunction with the Capitol Area Homeless Alliance. It will serve people with incomes at or below 50% of the median family income.

The CAHA, founded in 1977, manages the Austin Resource Center for the Homeless, which provides support services to more than 3,500 homeless people a year. “This is a significant development for the Housing Continuum, which the city of Austin has helped to establish,” Paul Hilgers, community development officer, said. “The Garden Terrace facility, through the support of locally based non-profits, will help people reach self-sufficiency.”
