The Housing Advocacy Committee intends to promote affordable housing for all Austinites. We track code, policies, and discriminatory housing practices. The intention of this group is to be proactive, not reactive on housing policy, and we look for organizations to partner with on issues as we leverage our own expertise as design professionals and leaders of the community.
This committee’s monthly meetings are first Fridays, 12-1PM. Meetings are hybrid – attend in-person at AIA Austin or via Zoom. Email the committee chair if you are interested in joining.
Agenda for this particular meeting include:
a. HOME Phase 2
b. Preservation Bonus
c. Technical Code Adoption ‘24
d. Affordability Impact Reporting Reform
e. Compatibility Setback
