Our Collective Impact Goal
Stabilize ownership of 400 residential properties that are vacant or at-risk of vacancy
Austin is a community that faces many challenges, but it is also full of potential. It has historic homes, the beautiful Columbus Park, and a tenacity that has it ready for growth.
Micro Market Recovery
The Chicago Neighorbood Recovery Program (CNRP) is an initiative of the City of Chicago’s Department of Housing that assists in rebuilding distressed communities by reducing the cost of homeownership, creating communities of choice, and introducing new owners to vacant buildings on targeted neighborhood blocks.
As the CNRP community partner in Austin, Austin Coming Together works with our members to re-occupy vacant residential buildings and help existing residents to remain in their homes. Through education, relationship building, research, and market analysis we are building the capacity of local block clubs, developers, and housing counseling agencies to work together to stabilize homeownership in our community.
