On July 21, 2022, Foundation Communities a broad coalition of advocates, affordable housing providers and elected leaders gathered at The Jordan at Mueller to call for a bold investment in housing affordability in Austin. The coalition is urging Council to place an affordable housing bond of at least $300 million on the November 2022 ballot to expand affordable housing opportunities so low and moderate income families can continue to live in Austin. These bonds support the creation of affordable rental units, expansion of affordable homeownership opportunities, provision of home repair services to vulnerable homeowners, and the strategic acquisition of properties to produce more housing for those with lower incomes.
