The Housing and Planning Department (HPD)
On October 1, 2020, the Neighborhood Housing and Community Development Department and the Planning and Zoning Department were merged to create the Housing and Planning Department. Thisresulted in a department that integrated comprehensive planning, zoning, and displacement prevention, providing an intentional governance structure designed to prevent the displacement of communities of color and Austin’s low-income residents. The department provides a number of avenues in which displacement is mitigated and prevented to include the delivery of affordable housing programsresponsive to community and City Council priorities.
The new departmental structure allows for equitable and inclusive planning, displacement prevention, and related policies, programs, and projects that seek to create a diverse and racially inclusive City by partnering with neighborhoods, businesses, agencies, and residents to bring about positive change for our communities. The merger of these workgrous, an estimated 120 employees, provides an important collaboration of talent and additional regulatory interventions and processes to strengthen the activities described in the Displacement Prevention Strategy. The Strategy guides and identifies actions that prevent the displacement of vulnerable low-income households and communities of color, including tenant stabilization services.
Finally, the creation of the Housing and Planning Department enhances the City’s ability to implement the City of Austin’s Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing, which highlights the need for continued tenant stabilization.The intervention and investment in tenant stabilization services has increased significantly as a result of the economic impacts from the COVID 19 pandemic, which has positioned government to work in innovative ways not known prior to this global crisis. The Housing and Planning Department is a key avenue for federal funding sources to include funding from the US Department of Housing and Urban Development, which has been a primary federal partner in addressing the recovery and relief efforts administered at the local level.
The Position Under the general direction of the Director of the Housing and Planning Department, the Assistant Director will have several exciting challenges to address and areas of opportunity in which to excel. Among these opportunities are the need to support the vision for the department; advance the City’s non-discrimination initiatives; and promote outreach, education, and awareness of events for both businesses and community stakeholders.

About Austin, Texas This vibrant and dynamic city tops numerous lists for business, entertainment, and quality of life. One of the country’s most popular, high-profile “green” and culturally diverse cities, Austin was ranked #1 by the Wallstreet Journal in 2020 as the Hottest Job Market in the USA. In support of the LGBTQ people who live and work in Austin, in 2020 and the previous seven years, the City of Austin scored 100 points out of 100 on the Municipal Equality Index from the Human Rights Campaign. Austin was selected as the #1 Best Place to Live in the U.S. and #4 on the Best Places to Retire by U.S. News & World Report in 2019 and ranked in the top ten on Forbes list of America’s Best Employers in 2017.
Austin is a beacon of sustainability, social equity, and economic opportunity: where diversity and creativity are celebrated, where community needs and values are recognized, where leadership comes from its community members, and where the necessities of life are affordable and accessible to all.
Emerging as a player on the international scene with such events as the Austin Marathon, Rodeo Austin, Austin Urban Music Festival, Blues on the Green, Austin Pride Festival, Austin Trail of Lights, SXSW, Austin City Limits, and Formula 1, and being home to companies such as Apple, Samsung, Dell, Oracle, IBM, and Ascension Seton Health. From the home of state government and institutions of higher education to the “Live Music Capital of the World” and its growth as a film center, Austin has gained worldwide attention as a hub for education, business, health, and sustainability. From founding through the year 2000, Austin’s population roughly doubled every 20 years.
The city offers a wide range of events, from music concerts, food festivals, and sports competitions to museum displays, exhibits, and family fun. Austin is also home to a wonderful ballet, world-class museums, one-of-a-kind shopping, and beautiful outdoor spaces. You can just as easily spend your morning paddling the lake as you can strolling through a celebrated history museum.
Located at the edge of the Texas Hill Country -- rolling terrain of limestone bluffs, springs, rivers, and lakes -- Austin’s climate is ideal for year-round jogging, cycling, hiking on the city’s many trails, or swimming at Barton Springs or one of the area’s many other swimming holes. There are several excellent golf courses in the area, as well as opportunities for rowing, kayaking, canoeing, camping, rock climbing, disc golf, mountain biking, fishing, and more. Austin has something for everyone.
Austin City Government The City of Austin is a progressive, full-service municipal organization operating under the Council-Manager form of government. Austin’s mayor is elected from the city at large, and ten council members are elected from single-member districts. Terms of the mayor and council members are four years, and terms are staggered so that a general election is held every two years, with half the council being elected at each election. Term limits for the mayor and council members provide for two consecutive four-year terms. The City Council is responsible for the appointment of the City Manager, who is the Chief Administrative and Executive Officer of the City, City Clerk, City Auditor, Municipal Court Judges, and the Municipal Court Clerk.

The Housing and Planning Department (HPD)
On October 1, 2020, the Neighborhood Housing and Community Development Department and the Planning and Zoning Department were merged to create the Housing and Planning Department. Thisresulted in a department that integrated comprehensive planning, zoning, and displacement prevention, providing an intentional governance structure designed to prevent the displacement of communities of color and Austin’s low-income residents. The department provides a number of avenues in which displacement is mitigated and prevented to include the delivery of affordable housing programsresponsive to community and City Council priorities.
The new departmental structure allows for equitable and inclusive planning, displacement prevention, and related policies, programs, and projects that seek to create a diverse and racially inclusive City by partnering with neighborhoods, businesses, agencies, and residents to bring about positive change for our communities. The merger of these workgrous, an estimated 120 employees, provides an important collaboration of talent and additional regulatory interventions and processes to strengthen the activities described in the Displacement Prevention Strategy. The Strategy guides and identifies actions that prevent the displacement of vulnerable low-income households and communities of color, including tenant stabilization services.
Finally, the creation of the Housing and Planning Department enhances the City’s ability to implement the City of Austin’s Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing, which highlights the need for continued tenant stabilization.The intervention and investment in tenant stabilization services has increased significantly as a result of the economic impacts from the COVID 19 pandemic, which has positioned government to work in innovative ways not known prior to this global crisis. The Housing and Planning Department is a key avenue for federal funding sources to include funding from the US Department of Housing and Urban Development, which has been a primary federal partner in addressing the recovery and relief efforts administered at the local level.
The Position Under the general direction of the Director of the Housing and Planning Department, the Assistant Director will have several exciting challenges to address and areas of opportunity in which to excel. Among these opportunities are the need to support the vision for the department; advance the City’s non-discrimination initiatives; and promote outreach, education, and awareness of events for both businesses and community stakeholders. The Assistant Director of the Housing and Planning Department will be instrumental in developing and administering programs responsive to community input.
