Austin Strategic Housing Blueprint
The City’s Strategic Housing Blueprint helps align resources and facilitate community partnerships around a single, strategic vision to ensure that there is affordable housing throughout the city.
The plan identifies funding sources, potential regulations, and other creative approaches the City of Austin should utilize to achieve housing goals--including the creation of 60,000 affordable units over the coming decade for households earning approximately $60,000 or less per year--in line with Imagine Austin (Web).
The Blueprint identified five community values to guide the process, including:
- Prevent households from being priced out of Austin
- Foster equitable, integrated, and diverse communities
- Invest in housing for those most in need
- Create new and affordable housing choices for all Austinites in all parts of Austin
- Help Austinites reduce their household costs
