Texas  that  serve  a  wide  range  of  both resident and neighborhood needs. Each Learning Center is staffed  by a full‐time, on‐site Learning Center Manager, who is supported by  several  part‐time  on‐site  positions  and  a  wide  breadth  and  depth  of  other  Foundation  Communities’  colleagues  and  volunteers  from  our  Education, Health Initiatives, and Volunteer Engagement programs, as  well as a variety of FC partner agencies  Typical FC Services at Parker Lane   FC’s plan for 2105 Parker Lane includes both a new affordable housing community, as well as a robust  Learning Center that will serve both FC residents and neighbors alike. At this location, we expect to offer  typical  FC  services  programming,  delivered  by  our  staff  and  available  on‐site  for  free  to  surrounding  neighbors, including:   Weekly fitness classes, with both in person and virtual  options (i.e. yoga, meditation, Zumba)    Healthy food pantry, offered twice per month   Various nutrition education programs, offered   Annual health fair, including vaccinations, blood  quarterly  pressure checks, etc.  As we do at our existing Learning Centers, FC also intends to complement our own services at Parker Lane  with a variety of free programs offered by long‐standing partners, which may include:   Parenting classes with Any Baby Can and/or Mama Sana   Fresh produce boxes through the Sustainable Food Center   Public health support through Austin Public Health   Additionally, at this site, we will offer our large, robust after school  and  summer  youth  programs.  Space  in  these  youth  programs  is  prioritized  first  for  FC  residents,  but  it  is  also  available  for  and  we  expect to serve non‐resident students of Linder Elementary School.   Special Partnerships and Services at Parker Lane  We know that this site housed valued nonprofits in the past, and we are hoping to continue as many of  the previous uses as possible. We are in discussions with Meals on Wheels and plan to continue their use  of the site as a distribution center, if that is still a need. We are also exploring a partnership with the  Wesley Nurse Program, as we have done at other FC locations.   Part of our agreement with the United Methodist Church is that we will provide UMC with new office  space, which they in turn expect to utilize for a variety of mission‐oriented activities.   This would include  Justice for Our Neighbors, the church’s nonprofit immigration clinic that previously was located at the  Parker Lane site.  The United Methodist Church will be identifying other neighborhood service needs in  the future including counseling, parenting and family support, and small group gatherings.    The site’s adjacency to Heritage Oaks Park has also provided our Health Initiatives team with a new realm  of ideas. We would welcome discussion with the neighborhood about partnering to offer health events  out of the park, such as outdoor fitness classes and/or a more expansive health fair.   We welcome the opportunity to provide space to groups like Our  House, and we are in discussion with AVANCE regarding potential  interest in providing services at this location. FC also has a long  existing  list  of  regular  partners,  and  our  services  offerings  are  always growing and evolving. After we open a new community,  we often tailor new program offerings based on resident need,  and anticipate doing so at this site as well.   We heard a desire for periodic meeting space at this location, and  we  are  happy  to  make  our  meeting  rooms  available  to  other  groups whenever possible based on staffing availability and other  services programs.   More Information  Our goal and intention is to be a collaborative partner with the surrounding neighborhood. If there are  specific  ideas  or  questions  regarding  use  of  this  space,  please  contact  Walter  Moreau  at  walter.moreau@foundcom.org or Sabrina Butler at sabrina.butler@foundcom.org.   You can also learn more about our Health Initiatives and Education programs on Facebook or our website,
