Through the Developer Incentive Program, the City of Austin partners with private developers to support the creation and preservation of affordable housing opportunities benefiting low- and moderate-income households. This is done through various Developer Incentive Programs which provide incentives for developers to set aside affordable rental and ownership units in market rate developments.

Below are links to Current homes for sale under the Developer Incentive Program, as well as agencies who participate in the incentive program and maintain a list of potentially available affordable homes.
