San Antonio, TX – Towne Twin Village: A Holistic Housing Model for Those In Need Jordan Foster Construction Helps Build a Sustainable Caring Community A bold new vision for addressing homelessness in San Antonio has taken shape—literally—with the completion of the first phases of Towne Twin Village, an innovative permanent supportive housing community tailored for seniors who have experienced homelessness. Spearheaded by the Housing First Community Coalition (HFCC), this ambitious undertaking is the result of years of collaborative effort, drawing support and resources from public agencies, private companies, and nonprofit organizations.

 
 

Towne Twin Village officially opened its doors with a ribbon-cutting ceremony in April,  celebrating the transformation of a long-held dream into a living, thriving community. With more than 200 housing units planned—including Tiny Homes, RVs, and future apartments—the development is not just a place to live, but a hub of holistic support. Essential services include access to healthcare, communal spaces, spiritual services, and daily necessities like meals and hygiene facilities.

Jordan Foster Construction has helped bring this vision to life, constructing the commercial infrastructure that anchors the village. Their scope of work included the chapel, healthcare clinic, community kitchen, event space, and other communal facilities that serve as the foundation for wellness and stability within the village. Jordan Foster Construction is best known for its work in medical office, hospitality, multifamily, and industrial construction.

 
 

“This was more than a construction job—it was a chance to create a place of healing,” said Roy Raines, President of the Building Group at Jordan Foster Construction. “We’re proud to be part of a project that addresses homelessness not just with shelter, but with dignity and opportunity.”

Texas Homes, a San Antonio-based homebuilder, constructed the Tiny Homes that provide comfort, privacy, and independence to residents—each designed with the specific needs of senior citizens in mind. The architectural layout of the community was developed by Chesney Morales Partners, whose trauma-informed design philosophy helped ensure every aspect of the village promotes healing, safety, and connection. The project was made possible through deep coordination with the City of San Antonio’s

Neighborhood and Housing Services Department, the Mayor’s Office, and numerous City Council members, reflecting a shared commitment to addressing the city’s most urgent housing challenges. The public sector’s involvement ensured not only the acquisition of funding but also helped align regulatory, design, and outreach efforts for long-term sustainability

 
 

“Our role was to bring the architectural vision to life in a way that supports long-term sustainability,” Raines added. “Towne Twin Village isn’t just about what’s built—it’s about what’s made possible.”

Other key partners include Catholic Worker House, which provides daily meals, hygiene supplies, and essential services at the Towne Twin Village Community Center; University Health System and UT Health, which are offering mental, dental, and general healthcare services; and a host of local nonprofits who will provide case management and other wraparound supports.

Together, this dynamic team has created a national model for addressing homelessness through integrated care and compassionate design. The ribbon-cutting event marked not only the completion of the first three phases of the project, but also a powerful demonstration of what can be achieved when a city comes together to reimagine what housing—and healing—can look like.

 
 

“Towne Twin is not just another milestone — it’s a demonstration of San Antonio’s Strategic Housing Implementation Plan in action,” said Veronica Garcia, Director of the City of San Antonio’s Neighborhood and Housing Services Department. “Thanks to bold investments by our community from the Affordable Housing Bond and a coalition of partners , we’re addressing chronic homelessness head-on though housing affordability and delivering wraparound services on-site . This project demonstrates that we can address our housing and homeless issues by weaving compassion through our investments –  Towne Twin proves that San Antonio doesn’t just plan, we deliver.

Towne Twin Village stands today as a beacon of hope and a testament to what is possible when architecture, construction, public leadership, and social services work in unison. For the team at Jordan Foster Construction and all the partners involved, this project has proven that building homes can also mean building futures.
