New Seabrook Square II Community Expands Supportive Housing and Healthcare Access in East Austin

AUSTIN, TX – Austin Housing and the Austin Housing Finance Corporation (AHFC) celebrate the opening of Seabrook Square II, a new 60-unit, fully furnished permanent supportive housing (PSH) community located in District 1 at 2210 Pershing Drive. The community offers high-quality housing paired with rental vouchers and voluntary, wraparound services for people experiencing homelessness. Seabrook Square II was developed by Capital A Housing and will be owned and operated by Integral Care.

“Seabrook Square II partnerships reflect what’s possible when we invest in housing rooted in community and centered on stability and well-being,” said Deletta Dean, Austin Housing Director. “By providing affordable housing alongside supportive services, we’re creating a foundation for Austinites experiencing homelessness to heal and rebuild the future.” 

The property includes 24-hour on-site support staff, care coordination and case management services, food assistance resources, community gathering spaces and computer access, onsite laundry facilities, and outdoor green space with a dog walk.  Additionally, a clinic that provides primary care and mental health services, including support for substance use disorder, is one mile away. Residents will begin moving into Seabrook Square II in early September. Upon arrival, they will receive Welcome Home Kits assembled by Integral Care staff and handwritten messages of encouragement from community members. 

“Having a safe place to live can change what is possible for someone,” said Director of Austin Homeless Strategies & Operations, David Gray. “When that foundation is paired with access to health care, supportive services and a community, residents can move beyond the instability of homelessness and begin to build their future on their own.” 

In 2025, nearly half of people experiencing homelessness in Austin reported becoming unhoused for the first time, underscoring the growing need for solutions that address both housing and healthcare. Research consistently shows that permanent supportive housing is among the most effective approaches to reducing chronic homelessness, improving health outcomes, and increasing long-term housing stability. By creating a safe place to live alongside access to supportive services, Seabrook Square II will help residents build stronger connections to healthcare, employment, and community resources.

"Housing is healthcare," said Jeff Richardson, Chief Executive Officer of Integral Care. "Every door opened at Seabrook Square II represents a chance for someone to move beyond survival and begin building a stable future. Safe housing and a supportive community create the foundation people need to thrive. Our continuum of care approach is embedded in the architecture of the building, from in-house case management offices on the first floor, to a primary and mental health care clinic only one mile away. We are proud to join our community partners in expanding opportunities for our neighbors and strengthening the health of Travis County." 

Development History

In 2021 and 2022, AHFC purchased approximately 3 acres of land located at 3515 Manor Road with 2018 General Obligation Bonds for affordable housing. Following community engagement efforts, AHFC and Austin Public Health (APH) solicited proposals to develop and operate a multifamily rental housing development(s) with on-site social services. AHFC awarded the development opportunity in July 2022 to the NHP Foundation, Capital A Housing, and Integral Care. 

Seabrook Square II received $7.9 million in 2022 GO Bond funding from AHFC through the Rental Housing Development Assistance (RHDA) program, $10,684,557 from Travis County, and $850,000 from FHLB Dallas. Additionally, the City of Austin allocated 60 project-based Local Housing Vouchers for the property, dedicating all 60 units to the Austin/Travis County Homelessness Response System.

Seabrook Square is in the J.J. Seabrook Neighborhood and is named after Dr. John Jarvis “J.J.” Seabrook, an educator, pastor, and well-known community leader in Austin. The community consists of two buildings, Seabrook I and Seabrook II, and was envisioned as an inclusive, sustainable, and active hub for the neighborhood that seamlessly integrates with the neighborhood’s existing resources, cultural history, and physical environment. 

Seabrook Square I 

Next door, Seabrook Square I opened in July 2026. The site, developed, owned, and operated by The NHP Foundation, Capital A Housing, and AHFC, includes 5-story and 4-story elevator-serviced buildings offering a diversity of affordable housing options.  All 204 units are affordable for households earning 30% to 60% median family income (MFI) and include 10 live-work-residence studios dedicated to East Austin artists.

The development received approximately $13.5 million in 2022 GO Bond funding from AHFC through the Rental Housing Development Assistance (RHDA) program, $40 million in tax-exempt Bonds issued by AHFC, a $3.4 million Citibank construction bridge loan, and $32.3 million in 4% LIHTC Equity syndicated by Boston Financial.
