HousingWorks is dedicated to seeing affordable housing peers in Austin and across the state have access to resources that help them better serve the communities they work within. This ranges from one-on-one work with policy-makers to putting together custom training and can include:
- Annual housing summits
- Workshop facilitation
- Affordable housing bus tours
- Affordable housing data
- Public awareness campaigns
- Storytelling
Our biggest educational initiative is our annual housing summit. This is an all-day event that focuses on a different broad industry issue each year. Speakers from across the country come to Austin to educate advocates, policy-makers, and housing professionals through panel discussions and presentations. In the past, we’ve focused on building equitable communities, housing and health, and housing as economic opportunity. You can see videos from our 2020 Housing + Access Summit here.
