The Mueller Foundation exists to sustain affordable housing at Mueller and to support the social goals of the Mueller neighborhood with an emphasis on quality education and sustainability in Central and Northeast Austin schools and neighborhoods.

In support of the community’s goals, the master plan for Mueller includes a commitment to diversity, providing a wide range of home types and prices. Mueller’s affordable homes program was created specifically to include homes for families earning less than the area’s median income that might not otherwise be able to afford a home in central Austin. Catellus, the City of Austin, Mueller homebuilders and apartment developers work together to provide a portion of all the homes at Mueller at a purchase or rental price structured for these households through Mueller’s affordable homes program.
