Opened in October of 2016 and a project of the Women's Home, the Adele & Ber Pieper Family Place apartments is an 84-unit Gold LEED permanent supportive housing complex located in the East Spring Branch community. The complex provides a wide range of support services to women and their families under the guidance of two on-site case managers.
This project represents continuing efforts by the Women's Home to provide quality housing to vulnerable families. 40 units are set aside to support chronically homeless and homeless families through a partnership with Coalition for the Homeless and Houston Housing Authority. The remaining 44 units are reserved for families with income no greater than 60% of median family income. The complex provides utilities, cable, and internet at no charge to the tenants. The complex is secure, with card access for parking and building entry and other components that qualify the complex as an HPD Blue Star property. It also features a secure courtyard with open spaces and creative play areas for children of all ages as well as a community building for activities, meetings, and family events. All tenants in the complex, as well as Jane Cizik Garden Place, have access to the full range of services offered at the Mabee WholeLife® Service Center located 4 blocks south.

Since this property has received funding in part through the Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program, a certain number of units are set aside for lower income households. Households must earn either less than 50% or 60% of the area median income (depending on the set-aside option chosen by the property owner) to qualify for these units. Rents in these units are capped at a maximum of 30% of the set-aside area median income (adjusted for unit size). Some rental units in this property may not be subject to LIHTC and therefore have higher rents and no maximum household income requirement.
