Foundation Communities is a leader in creating a successful model that offers “housing plus services.” At eight Community Learning Centers located at our affordable housing communities, we offer convenient classes and resources for children and adults. Learning centers offer a place for residents to gain knowledge and skills, learn to make sound financial decisions and increase their self-sufficiency while getting to know their neighbors and building a stronger community.

After getting divorced and laid off from her job in San Antonio, Shannon Epley was struggling with financial issues. She moved to Austin for a new job, but the first apartment she found was expensive and not kid-friendly. Then Shannon discovered Southwest Trails, where her rent is more affordable and her 7- and 10-year-old daughters enjoy free after-school programs at the Community Learning Center. The money Shannon saves on child care and rent makes it easier for her to make ends meet. She has even gotten involved leading a Campfire USA group at the learning center. “I’m happy to contribute to this community in any way I can,” Shannon says.
