“She said it's common to see 60-year-old homes torn down to make room for new construction. Masino will tell you families have either been priced out or offered big money to leave. That's gentrification. She said there are several groups working together to fix the problem by repairing things.”

The only historically black university in Austin is stepping in to preserve the East Austin community Austin nonprofits are teaming up to repair homes for low-income homeowners free of charge, in hopes it helps families stay in the community amidst rapid growth.
