This book was released on 1991 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This report has discussed and analyzed many of the problems related to affordable housing. This discussion and analysis have opened up and revealed a number of complex issues associated with the cost and availability of housing, problems that are not new. There have been a number of housing crises since World War II, but the problems being experienced currently are the result of a number of major structural flaws in the housing industry and attempts by government to control and regulate development. On the national level, we have seen several major factors affecting the availability and demand for affordable housing. The growth of and change in the money supply and the cost of credit contribute significantly to the purchase price of a new home. The cyclical instability of the housing industry and the consequences of that instability are prime contributors to the current crisis in affordable housing. Trends in local environmental and land use regulation in this country also play a significant role in the rising cost of a home. These three factors, as well as many other issues, are affecting the availability and affordability of the housing stock. On the local level, we have seen that many of the problems associated with affordable housing have not developed overnight. The affordable housing issue is embedded in a number of concerns and policy decisions spawned by Austin’s phenomenal growth in the 1970 s and early 1980s. Attempts to control and redirect that growth have generated a number of unanticipated and unexpected reactions from the development community. Many of these responses and reactions have ultimately been reflected in higher housing costs. As a result, a growing concern has arisen for some type of strategy to provide more affordable housing to the people of Austin. Many concepts and ideas have been discussed and analyzed, but few concrete proposals have been generated. The City Manager’s "Action Plan for Affordable Housing" is a departure from the general approaches of the past. The plan carefully and succinctly addressed many of the issues affecting housing affordability in this community and presented a set of specific and rational proposals and alternatives that could answer and resolve some existing problems. Yet despite this careful and considerate analysis, there has been little discussion or analysis of what actually constitutes the market for affordable housing in this community. There has been little attention, if any, given to where that market is located. The lack of any clear or definite understanding of this market has prompted the preparation of this report. In this report, a methodology has been presented that can locate and geographically describe a potential market for affordable housing in Austin. That methodology has been proven to be an accurate indicator of that market. With this information, it is hoped that interested groups and individuals will begin to explore and examine more seriously, those areas where Austin might begin to provide affordable development for its people"--Leaves 64-65

Download or read book Evaluating the Density Bonus as a Tool for Affordable Housing Production in Austin, TX written by Elisabeth Ashleigh Altazan and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inclusionary zoning practices include policies that require or incentivize real estate developers to include affordable housing units in their market-rate developments. In Austin, this is done by a policy mechanism called the density bonus, which offers developers the option to include more density than is allowed in the base zoning in exchange for including affordable units or paying a fee that will be used toward affordable housing development in other locations. Austin has employed density bonus policies since 2003, which have produced 1,665 affordable units and have raised over $6.5 million dollars used toward developing or preserving affordable housing in the city. They City of Austin plans to expand the use of density bonus programs to produce affordable housing in future changes to the land development code. This study evaluates the success of Austin’s density bonus programs and how proposed density bonus programs may perform. Costs and location of density bonus programs and other city-funded affordable housing programs are compared to evaluate the performance of the density bonus programs. The analysis finds density bonus units are much cheaper to the city and out-perform other city-subsidized units in terms of providing affordable housing in areas that do not have existing concentrations of poverty or minority populations. In addition, the study analyzes how local rents and other regulations affect density bonus unit production and finds the proposed density bonus programs are unlikely to be successful without accounting for hyper-local housing market trends. Last, the study offers recommendations for Austin’s density bonus programs based on the analyses

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This professional report addresses the issue of housing affordability in Austin, Texas, and explores adaptive reuse of historic school buildings as one solution. The report looks at the relationship between affordable housing and historic preservation as well as the relationship between neighborhood schools and the community. I explore case studies of adaptive reuse projects around the United States that have converted historic school buildings into affordable housing using a combination of Historic Tax Credits and Low-Income Housing Tax Credits as a financing strategy. I then explore the possibility of adapting the Baker Center in Austin into affordable housing as an example for future projects. Finally, I look at the applicability of adaptive reuse strategies to Austin’s inventory of historic post-war neighborhood schools.

Download or read book Planning for Displacement and Affordability in Austin, TX in the Face of Climate Change written by Maria Fernanda Berrios and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lower income communities that have been historically disinvested in real estate are experiencing more displacement and lack of affordability than ever before. Climate change brings recurring flooding, heating, and other extreme weather events for which community resilience is needed to sustain the viability and livability of the neighborhood for residents. On the other hand, gentrification- related increases in housing costs force residents out of their communities. This thesis studies a community in Austin, Texas where environmental justice and racial equity issues converge. The community of Dove Springs, a predominantly Latino/a neighborhood, is and will be affected by climate change and gentrification in upcoming years. Planning will be essential to the success and sustainability of the neighborhood. For the residents of this neighborhood to benefit from any development, the planning strategy has to be bottom up and prioritize community involvement in the decision making process. This thesis explores the questions: 1) What are the main causes for displacement locally and how do they pertain to environmental justice? and 2) How can displacement due to climate change and gentrification be mitigated for an Austin neighborhood while maintaining affordability and density? I will explore these questions through the lens of Environmental Justice, how a case study of how a Community Land Trust model for Dove Springs, combined with local policy could help its residents provide more affordable housing developed sustainably. Although the focus is on housing, a comprehensive planning approach is suggested and will take into consideration other aspects such as transit, availability of green spaces, food access, etc. Through insight from Dove Springs Community leaders and experts around these topics, the thesis proposes a pairing of a CLT model and a local development bonus program (Affordability Unlocked). The implementation of this strategy is showcased through a series of maps and massing models where density and comprehensive planning are proposed. Through integrated design strategies proposed, the community can use this research as a tool to plan sustainably for years to come

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today, Austin faces a housing affordability crisis driven by rapid population growth and increasing economic disparity. With a significant housing shortage, particularly in affordable units, Austin must build both in existing neighborhoods and in new communities on the periphery to balance its housing market. This report evaluates a series of recent housing projects in Austin in search of a sustainable model for residential development that balances equity, ecology, and economy. This analysis finds that no existing model provides affordable housing with good access to transit and urban amenities that can be marketed and reproduced at the scale necessary to balance Austin’s housing market. This report then analyzes the formal qualities that make housing development efficient and affordable for developers, taxpayers, and residents. An analysis of density and building construction technology explores the convoluted relationship of density and per-unit land and construction costs. Then, a case study evaluates and compares a series of street grid designs drawn from cases as varied as Tokyo and outskirts of Austin. Each grid is evaluated based on indicators of efficiency and walkability. This report identifies that there is likely an optimal density for maximizing per-unit affordability, which varies by land cost. This report also finds that, disregarding net density, automobile scaled infrastructure grids with large blocks and wide rights-of-way are found to perform well for development efficiency, but poorly for walkability. Alternatively, pedestrian scaled infrastructure grids with small blocks were found to be equally efficient provided that they were designed with narrow rights-of-ways for local streets. While highlighting lessons particular to Austin, this paper provides insights on housing affordability issues shared by many other cities, adding to the discussion of how to most sustainably deliver affordable housing in America’s growing cities.

Download or read book The Affordable Housing Crisis in Austin written by Joshua Cuddy and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Affordable housing availability and cost-burden rates for low-income and middle-income households in Austin, Texas are worse than both the national and state averages. As population growth has outpaced housing development, the subsequent rise in property value has created higher housing costs that impede the ability for households to accrue social safety net savings and meet basic needs such as food, shelter, and medical care. This report aimed to examine the history of public and private policy that impacted non-white residents’ ability to accrue wealth and achieve homeownership. In addition, this report examined current affordable housing within the city and its geospatial location in relation to coexisting social service need data within Austin zip codes. The findings of this report show that affordable housing development has primarily occurred in historically African American neighborhoods East of Highway I35. Furthermore, analysis of United Way 2-1-1 caller data of unmet social serviced need indicates high levels of unmet service need existing within these areas. In light of these findings, recommendations to improve affordable housing include: expansion of Pay-for–Success financing for creating Permanent Supportive Housing; push for legislation to create redevelopment zones as well as tax abatements for low-income home owners; funding towards the affordable housing strike fund; and expansion of wraparound services amongst affordable housing providers.

This book was released on 2010-11-03 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the ongoing recession and housing crisis, it has never been more important to understand the federal and state governments' roles in affordable housing. The Creation of a Federal Partnership takes a fresh look at the history of national and state housing policy by examining the role played by state housing agencies since the 1970s. Establishing new ground in the field, this volume discusses how the relationship between the federal and state levels has evolved over time. The result, Margaret M. Brassil argues, is that the federal government's broad policy guidelines allow states to better address their own social issues, an improvement for policy and ultimately for the people it serves.

Book excerpt: Cities in the Southern United States, hereafter referred to as “the South”, are increasingly grappling with housing affordability issues. As a student of urban policy, and as a lifelong resident of the South, I often hear assertions that the inability to build and maintain truly affordable housing is due in large part to Republican controlled state legislatures opposing their more liberal, Democratic led municipal counterparts. With various levels of state control over local affordable housing policies in the South, there is a chance that affordable housing production may be impeded by state legislatures that politically oppose their cities’ political leanings. Naturally, this may occur in the form of restrictive financing options and thus more difficult affordable housing programs and production. As housing is inherently tied to equitable outcomes and is intertwined with all other aspects of urban development, it is imperative to understand how housing is being financed and whether that has an impact on equitable urban formation. As Southern cities continue to diversify and increasingly lean Democratic, it is critical to know what the tangible ramifications are on housing affordability and its use as a political pawn. In Austin, Texas the overwhelming narrative is that we simply cannot build enough affordable housing because the state has severely limited municipal rights. The obvious question that remains for the city is how to use innovative finance techniques to maximize production and reach the greatest number of affordable units at the deepest levels of affordability. The less obvious, but perhaps more critical question, is whether the use of innovative financing techniques will work to deepen housing inequalities. Assuming that this issue is not unique to Austin, this professional report intends to address whether in cities in the South there is evidence of a systematic pattern of political ideology differences impeding opportunities to finance affordable housing and whether this results in inequitable building patterns. Are inequitable housing patterns in liberal cities in the South perpetuated by innovative financing forced by conservative state legislatures?
