About Austin Habitat for Humanity
At Austin Habitat, we believe having a decent place to live can change lives and provide a solid foundation that last forever.

We have served the Austin community since 1985, building more than 225 new affordable homes with low income families. Homes are built with volunteer labor and community funding, and sold to our home buyers with zero-interest mortgage loans. Each home buyer participates in financial education programs and contributes approximately 400 hours of "sweat-equity."

About Acton MBA

Acton MBA The Acton School of Business is a one-year MBA in Entrepreneurship program taught by successful, practicing entrepreneurs. The program is based entirely on experiential learning, featuring intensive 90-hour work weeks where students stand in the shoes of the entrepreneur in over 300 case studies, run real assembly lines and must-sell products door to door in order to graduate. The student-faculty ratio is lower than any MBA program in the country, allowing students to develop strong bonds with their entrepreneur teachers.

The Princeton Review has ranked Acton's teachers among the top five MBA faculties in the country for the past 4 years and rates Acton as one of the "Best Classroom Experiences" in the nation.

Acton begins a new chapter in its history with the opening of its new campus on the shores of Town Lake in Austin, Texas.
