I wanted to let everyone know that I will be bringing forward an amendment / resolution (checking on which is appropriate) directing the City Manager / our staff to bring us a detailed implementation work plan for the Strategic Housing Plan by a specified date. This will help Council, staff, and the public take the next step for reaching Austin goals - after adopting the Strategic Housing Plan as part of Imagine Austin.

Thank you to our staff and stakeholders who have been working hard on this Housing Plan for the last year. Adopting our first ever, comprehensive Housing Plan and follwing that shortly with a more detailed implementation plan will be an important step for the city in accomplishing housing affordability for the city.

Best

We have posted an IFC for this Thursday directing the City Manager to create an Implemental Plan for the Strategic Housing Plan, once it is adopted. In addition to the posted language, we will be revising the resolution to include the following:

The City Manager is directed to create an Interdepartmental action team comprised of transit, planning, housing, economic development, code, financial, legal expertise and other expertise as required for implementation of the plan.

Best Regards
