$6.5B affordable housing plan to be discussed at Austin council meeting

AUSTIN (KXAN) — Austin city leaders say they have a new plan to help you find affordable rentals or the chance to buy a home and they want to hear from you Thursday during a public hearing at City Hall.
The Strategic Housing Plan covers about 60,000 homes and apartments over the next 10 years with a $6.5 billion price tag. It’s possible your taxes could wind up covering part of it.
City planners say this is a very ambitious goal and say it could benefit about 120,000 people.
