What we do
At Equidad ATX, we are transforming Austin’s Eastern Crescent by addressing the root causes of generational poverty. As part of the Purpose Built Communities Network, we use a proven, place-based model tailored to the unique needs of our community—ensuring lasting, equitable change.
OUR PURPOSE
How We Create Change
We believe that transformation starts with the community. Our approach is rooted in place-based planning, ensuring that residents shape the future of their own neighborhoods. Through strategic partnerships and innovative programs, we address four key pillars:
Mixed-Income Housing
We support the development of affordable, high-quality housing that serves families of all income levels—creating stable, thriving communities.
Community Health & Wellness
Access to healthcare, nutrition, and recreational spaces is essential for well-being. We advocate for health services, wellness programs, and safe public spaces where residents can thrive.
Education & Lifelong Learning
We work to expand educational opportunities by supporting early childhood programs, K-12 schools, and workforce training—ensuring pathways to success at every stage of life.
Economic Vitality
We empower residents through job training, entrepreneurship programs, and small business support, helping to create a sustainable local economy.
where we work
Through collaboration with community partners, we focus on impactful initiatives in Colony Park, Creedmoor, and Del Valle—ensuring that housing, health, education, and economic opportunities reach the people who need them most.
