Spring Terrace, Austin’s second supportive housing community, features 142 apartments with supportive services that promote permanent self-sufficiency. Spring Terrace fills a critical housing need for people who are homeless and those living alone on less than $24,900 a year.

Rents are $330 to $500 for most residents, including utilities. Caritas of Austin has 20 units for residents who qualify for rent adjustments and other services through their programs.

Each furnished apartment includes a private bath and kitchenette. Residents also share TV lounges, a fitness room, computer lab, laundry facility and a courtyard.

Spring Terrace was formerly an extended-stay hotel, purchased and renovated for a total cost of $5.4 million. Renovations include Green Building features that improve quality of life, conserve natural resources and reduce waste.

Darrel had a successful career in the machine tool industry until his life took a dive into depression and alcoholism. Eventually, he was faced with the choice of shooting himself or calling for help, and Darrel chose to pick up the phone.

After completing a rehabilitation program, Darrel became one of the first to move into Garden Terrace, an apartment community providing permanent, affordable housing and help with health care, employment, and other needs. Darrel has taken college classes, dealt with health issues, and is working again. He calls Garden Terrace “a godsend” that has given him a second chance at life, and he wants to see it expand to help others.
