60K-unit affordable housing plan approved in Austin

​​​AUSTIN – The city council has approved a plan to​ build 60,000 affordable housing units across the city.

This goal came out of their housing blueprint which aimed to build a total of 135,000 units.

The affordable housing will be spread out across the ten districts, specifically looking in areas with easy access to public transportation and increased gentrification.

Districts six and ten will have the most affordable housing units with about 8,000 units apiece. Districts four and nine will have the least with about 3,000 units each.

​Completion is projected for 2027.​​
