Abstract

While steady job growth has made Austin a desirable migration destination, the resulting population growth has put a strain on housing availability and affordability. Recently, community organizations and city leaders have turned their attention to mobile home parks as a way to provide low-income households with affordable living opportunities within the city limits. In this brief, the Latino Research Institute examines the role of mobile home parks in housing affordability in the city of Austin, Texas.
