🎉Today, we're celebrating the completion of Pathways at Chalmers Courts — 398 modern, mixed-income homes in East Austin. This project represents years of hard work, planning, and community collaboration to create more opportunities for local families. #PathwaysAtChalmers

At HACA, we’re “Building Tomorrow Together.” Working alongside members of our Austin community, we are committed to connecting our low-income neighbors with quality, affordable housing – now and in the future. With work at Chalmers Courts completed, we’re turning our attention to historic Rosewood Courts. But that’s not all. Check out our 2023-24 annual report to see what else we’ve been up to, as well as a sneak peek at some of the great things planned for our next fiscal year: bit.ly/4etYyQb

Petition to get Dot as our office dog… 😉
In all seriousness- we hope she finds her perfect home soon!
This is the best! Anyone who knows me knows how much I love & appreciate @AustinPetsAlive. I am so beyond honored they named a dog after me to celebrate my 1 year as @CapMetroATX CEO 💙 If you're thinking about adopting, go ahead & check out Dot Watkins & all her buddies at APA!
Celebrating these fine folks today … and EVERY day!
Happy #TransitEmployeeAppreciationDay!
