After Hard Work, Representative Al Edwards Welcomes New Affordable Housing Development

(Austin, TX)- State Representative Al Edwards applauds the new affordable, senior citizen housing development, named Mariposa Apartment Homes at Highway 288 & Reed Road. The 180-unit affordable apartment homes for seniors began housing residents in late February, with a grand opening scheduled for later this year.

Through Representative Edwards' longtime support and hard work, alongside the cooperation of both city and federal authorities as well as community organizations, the project has now come to fruition. The development will allow low-income senior residents to reside in a gated, private setting at a reduced, affordable rate.

"I encourage affordable housing in our community, especially for our senior citizens. I've supported this project since its early stages, in fact, I helped to secure tax credits for the project because there is a need for this type of housing in our community. In today's economy, it is more important than ever to have good, affordable housing for our senior citizens," according to Representative Edwards.
