3 mentions across 3 events
Green Social Housing is an Austin City Council initiative to study and design a city-led housing model. The model combines permanently affordable, mixed-income homes with strict sustainability standards and public ownership. The council resolution directs the City Manager to develop a policy that favors compact, transit-oriented development, includes tenant protections, and keeps the City as majority owner of projects. The aim is to test one or two pilot projects. Council Member Mike Siegel sponsored the resolution.
