Possible funding solutions and information about affordable housing issues, including a potential bond, will again be brought to Austin City Council by city staff after council unanimously approved a resolution to receive the information.

City Manager Marc Ott said at the Jan. 17 meeting that staff would report back to council on a variety of affordable housing topics while taking into account the council's past actions, including identifying up to $10 million for short-term funding opportunities as well as finding long-term opportunities through the state's Housing Trust Fund.

Other aspects the resolution asked the city manager to address include an update on plans for tax ratification and bond elections from other governmental jurisdictions within the city, timing and deadlines for possible bond elections, practices of other cities, and information on national and statewide approaches to affordable housing.
