Austin LAMA Breakfast | Housing Policy Meets Housing Economics: What's Next for Affordable Housing in Austin?
What's Next for Affordable Housing in Central Texas?
Local market realities, changing development rules, and the 2027 legislative session
Austin’s affordable housing community is navigating a changing market as the City rethinks development incentives, density, entitlements, local housing funds, and property-tax exemptions. At the same time, state policy is playing a larger role in land use, development regulation, and the tools available to local housing entities. This panel will examine what those shifts mean for affordable housing in Austin today and how the 2027 legislative session could further reshape the local landscape.
Breakfast will be included.
Hosted by TAAHP’s Austin Local & Municipal Affairs (LAMA) group, and with thanks to our event sponsors:
