Housing Department

Welcome!

The Housing Department partners with the community to shape a more equitable Austin and to prevent the displacement of people and services through the investment of affordable housing resources.

As of April 2023, the Housing & Planning Department (HPD) has been split into separate departments -- the Housing Department and the Planning Department.
