SRCC: help with items or donations for Foundation Community in 78704

Posted on September 8, 2016 by Communications

welcomeFoundation Communities’ new  living center, Bluebonnet Studios, (located at 2301 S. Lamar) opens  in October and will provide 107 affordable housing units to low income families and individuals. A percentage of residents are formerly homeless.  If you are not familiar with Foundation Communities,  many view them as THE most effective affordable housing program in Austin, if not the country, because they provide beautiful, sustainable housing and link the residents with much needed services to assist them in making a successful transition to home and work.  Several of our SRCC members including Andy Cantu, Marilyn Norton and others spoke favorably of their support for Foundation Communities. Click here for  more information on Foundation Communities. 

Nearby neighborhoods are pitching in by creating Welcome Baskets for new residents. Baskets are estimated to cost @$200 each and are filled with items to help these folks make a new start. Rosalyn Clifton (SRCC member) volunteered to coordinate this effort for our neighborhood.  Note!  Bouldin Creek neighborhood has committed funds for 5 baskets!

Here is the list of items needed: full-sized bedding, pillows, dishes, toilet paper , shower curtains, laundry baskets, pots and pans, towels etc.. You can help make baskets, donate items or donate money. Items should  be new or in excellent condition, though I’m sure we could find a use for lightly used items as well.

You can drop items or checks  at 1227A Hillside Avenue OR BRING ITEMS OR CHECKS MONDAY OCTOBER  3  TO OUR NEXT SRCC MEETING AT LIFEINTHECITY CHURCH! Checks can be made out to Rosalyn Clifton. To help assemble baskets,  give a monetary donation, or if you have questions contact: email  rosalynclifton@gmail.com

Posted on September 8, 2016 by Communications

More Mobility35 projects move forward to construction
Two important projects along the I-35 corridor recently advanced to the construction phase: the 51stStreet project and the Oltorf Street project. The Oltorf Street project will reconstruct I-35 from south of Woodland Avenue to Woodward Street, and improve the Oltorf Street interchange. Improvements include improving and adding entrance/exit ramps on mainlanes, rebuilding the Oltorf Street bridge, adding north and south U-turns at Oltorf Street, and improving frontage roads. The project will also improve bicycle and pedestrian facilities along the I-35 frontage roads in each direction. The $42.6-million project is anticipated to begin this fall and is expected to be complete in spring 2019. TxDOT’s Congestion Relief Initiative, which is designed to address gridlock on the state highway system, funded the project. Map below: Continue reading →
