Unlocking Opportunities: Austin's New Program to Boost Affordable Housing Options

The city council of Austin has recently given the green light to the Opportunity Unlocked program, an innovative approach designed to tackle the city’s pressing need for affordable housing. This subsidy-free, density bonus program aims to encourage contractors to add more bedrooms to new construction projects and permit the development of multifamily units on previously single-family lots. The proposed ordinance will be up for final approval on October 19th at the city council meeting.
