Expanding Affordable Housing & Inclusion through Cooperation

La Reunion is a new NASCO Properties 20-unit housing cooperative in Austin, TX. The name was specially chosen as a reference to a settlement of the same name that existed near Dallas in the late 1800s. It is a connection to cooperative history in Texas as well as a word that connotes community, unity, and a return to the cooperative growth of the 70s.

”We made a real community out of it. It is the time spent together that has made us a real community and makes us work."
