The training, which is being led by Capital Impact Partners and HousingWorks Austin, will also help smaller developers add capacity in preparing financial applications and networking with community leaders to help contribute to the city’s 10-year goal, established in 2017, of building more than 130,000 housing units at differing levels of affordability.
