Our Mission
Guadalupe Neighborhood Development Corporation (GNDC) is dedicated to use its resources exclusively for charitable and educational purposes related to the development and rehabilitation of high quality affordable housing for low to moderate income families. GNDC also works for the improvement, revitalization and preservation of the residential neighborhood. GNDC is committed to respect the people it serves and is dedicated to improve the quality of life in the neighborhoods where it works. GNDC gives the highest priority to families with generational ties to the target neighborhoods.
Who We Help
GNDC brings affordable housing solutions to people in need. We build Community Land Trust (CLT) homes that are sold at affordable prices to income-eligible households. We also offer rental homes at modest rates. Our homes are in the East Austin service area (generally 78702 and 78721 zip codes).
Our Community Land Trusts
A Community Land Trust (CLT) is when a public entity or non-profit sells the improvement (the actual house) but not the land beneath it. The land is owned by the CLT and is then leased to the homeowner for a small fee. In GNDC’s CLT, the home is sold at an affordable price to an income-eligible household, and the land is leased for $25 per month/$300 per year. The homeowner’s property taxes reflect the value of the home itself, and the property taxes for the land are very low because of the small lease fee.
