City of Austin celebrates completion of affordable home project, calls for more

AUSTIN (KXAN) —  As part of a broader plan to expand affordability, city leaders and project stakeholders celebrated on Wednesday the completion of a South Austin affordable townhome development. 

The city of Austin wants home ownership to become a reality for more people. In 2024, through the Ownership Housing Development Assistance program, the city awarded $9 million to developers planning to produce affordable homes. Around one-third of that went to Industry ATX to build around two dozen affordable town homes.
