Got ideas to fix ATX housing needs? Let's hear them!

Community events launch for new Austin Housing Plan 


With housing prices continuing to rise at an alarming rate, we need a strategic housing plan to meet the needs of people who call Austin home.

A new Austin Housing Plan will address these topics:

(1) How might we ensure our children can afford to live in Austin?

(2) Where should Austinites who work hard – cooking food, watching your children, and caring for the sick – be able to afford to live?

(3) The cost of housing is inter-connected with City decisions around job access, parking, permitting, and housing types allowed. For City leaders, doing nothing different is not an option. So, which changes can you live with?
