Programs and Initiatives Affecting Affordability

Our Vision (from Imagine Austin):

Austin is a beacon of sustainability, social equity, and economic opportunity; where diversity and creativity are celebrated; where community needs and values are recognized; where leadership comes from its citizens, and where the necessities of life are affordable and accessible to all.

Our Strategic Outcomes

Together we strive to create a complete community where every Austinite has choices at every stage of life that allow us to experience and contribute several outcome areas, including economic opportunity and affordability. 

Program and Initiative Inventory

In February 2016, City Council requested that the Office of the City Auditor identify factors, as well as City programs and initiatives that affect affordability for Austin residents. The Office of the City Auditor created a special report including an inventory of City programs and initiatives that affect affordability and a list of related literature.
