Austin is on the verge of adopting a new program called Opportunity Unlocked, aimed at increasing the availability of affordable housing within the city. The city council has given the green light to this subsidy-free, density bonus program, which offers incentives for contractors to build more spacious and multifamily units in new developments. The ordinance for the program is set for approval at the upcoming October 19th council meeting. As a result of this initiative, many Austin residents could benefit from an expanded range of housing options, as it allows the construction of multifamily units on traditionally single-family lots.
