PPP is a grass roots organization called Pflugerville Pfamilies Pfirst. It was originally organized in October 2004 to defeat a proposed racetrack. 

While the organization is a socially, culturally, and racially diverse group our interest in the city range in helping reduce high city taxes and water rates to increasing road development and bringing in common sense growth in our city.   Some of our members are active participants and volunteers in city government, events and activities. 

Pflugerville Pfamilies Pfirst is a group of concerned citizens who love Pflugerville and want to participate in it’s future development/growth. We are concerned citizens just like you.  We remain in existence to try to promote the advancement of our city while respecting and acknowledging the heritage and family values of our citizens. 

PPP is made up of your friends and neighbors.  We are liberals and conservatives; black, white and Hispanic; Republicans and Democrats; men and women; old, middle aged and young.  Many of us regularly attend church (various denominations); some don’t go quite so regularly.   Some are retired, some work in Pflugerville or Austin, some stay at home.   Some of us have been politically involved; others have been content just to vote on Election Day.  We are pretty much a cross-section of the people who live in Pflugerville. 

What we share in common is a deep passion for keeping Pflugerville family friendly, for promoting wise economic growth to lower our taxes, and for having a city government that is respectful and responsive to citizens.

Homebuyer Assistance Program now Available in Pflugerville    At their meeting on June 12, 2007, the City Council approved a resolution allowing the Travis County Housing Finance Corporation to originate loans within the City limits of Pflugerville in their 2007 program. The program offered by the Travis County Housing Finance Corporation offers below-market interest rates as well as a non-repayable grant to be used for down payment and closing cost assistance.
Borrowers must be “first-time” homebuyers and occupy the purchased home as their primary residence. You will be considered a first-time homebuyer if you have not owned a home in the past three years. The first-time homebuyer requirement does not apply if you are buying a home in an area designated as a targeted area by the program. Homebuyers must meet program income qualifications. Last year’s maximum income limits were $71,100 for a family of 2 or fewer, and $81,765 for a family of three or more.
If you have questions or need further information, or would like a list of participating lenders, please contact the Travis County Housing Finance Corporation at 512-854-4743 or visit their website
