Affordable housing talks next month

Next month, the city will take a closer look at its housing needs. To be exact, the city will dive into the 2014 Comprehensive Housing Market Study that was released this past summer. On Dec. 1 at 6 p.m., there will be a presentation at City Hall called “Austin’s Affordable Housing Needs and Impediments to Fair Housing Choice” that will address the market study and preliminary information about the impediments to fair housing in the city. At 8 p.m. the next night, Dec. 2, BBC Research & Consulting will go over the details of the study and overview of the report in a presentation and discussion titled, “Affordable Housing in Austin: Dig Deeper into the Data,” at LifeWorks, 835 N. Pleasant Valley Road. Both events are open to the public. The full study is available here.
