The Works III

The Works III is a forthcoming development that addresses the critical need for affordable housing and supportive services for youth aging out of foster care in Austin and Travis County.

This project is being developed through a strategic partnership between Capital A Housing, a local developer of affordable and mixed-income housing, as well as LifeWorks and LifeWorks Affordable Housing Corporation, a leading provider of housing, counseling, and education/workforce programs for youth experiencing homelessness.

The Works III will offer 120 units of safe, secure, and supportive housing, comprising studios, one-, and two-bedroom units, specifically designed with trauma-informed principles to cater to the unique needs of youth transitioning from foster care.

Located adjacent to Boggy Creek in East Austin, The Works Ill will be situated amongst a grove of heritage pecan trees and feature an array of amenities and services, including supportive services provided by LifeWorks focused on creating pathways to self-sufficiency, as well as indoor gathering spaces, recreational areas, fitness facilities, meeting rooms, offices, laundry rooms, and a computer lab.

By combining affordable housing with on-site supportive services, The Works III paves the way for youth transitioning out of foster care to achieve stability, growth, and independence.
