Could the Mueller Affordable Housing Program help Austin’s Neighborhood Housing and Community Development department inform its Strategic Housing Blueprint?

The City of Austin addressed the shortage of affordable housing in Austin by providing density bonus programs and other incentives to real estate developer Catellus, the master developer of the Mueller Community. The Mueller Affordable Housing Program offers a variety of reasonably priced for-sale and for-rent housing types to qualified participants. The purpose of this report is to identify strategies found in the Mueller Affordable Housing Program that can help the City of Austin’s Neighborhood Housing and Community Development achieve affordable housing on a larger, city-wide basis.
