Please note there are entities and data that should appear in this resource that as of yet do not. This is a living document that will be updated regularly to reflect any changes and omissions. To inform us of any additions or revisions that may be necessary please email info@canatx.org. COMPONENTS OF THE FRAMEWORK DATA DETAILING RACIAL DISPARITIES In each area of disparity, we share relevant data and include citations so that you may refer directly to the source cited in case you are interested in additional detail or context. ORGANIZATIONS WORKING TO ADDRESS SPECIFIC DISPARITIES A listing of local entities addressing specific disparities. For those areas where only a few or no local entities exist, we list state/national entities that may serve as a resource. Please note that we differentiate between people of color-led organizations and other organizations. The former are those whose staff and board composition are at least 50% people of color. COMMUNITY RESOURCES In this section we list entities or programs that may not fit into any of the other categories utilized in the framework.

20220712-006 _Reiterate Commitment to 20% Affordable Housing in South Central Waterfront Vision — original pdf
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION 20220712-006 Seconded By: Chair Motwani Date: July 12, 2022 Subject: [Second Send] Emphatic Restatement: A commitment to meeting the 20% affordable housing goal in the South Central Waterfront Vision Motioned By: Vice Chair Paup Recommendation: WHEREAS, the South Central Waterfront Vision calls for state-of-the-art development, a place where people want to be round-the-clock, a vibrant mix of open space, shops, superb transit connections and green drainage to capture all storm water onsite and recycle that water into a lush canopy of earth-cooling shade trees; and WHEREAS, by including a goal that 20% of housing in the waterfront district be affordable, the South Central Waterfront Vision departs from government planning processes of the past which systematically excluded and barred people of color; and WHEREAS, the impact of yesterday’s government-sanctioned segregation lingers with us today resulting in people of color having lower incomes and higher housing instability; and WHEREAS, the Civil Rights Act of 1968 established for cities the duty to affirmatively further fair housing, requiring cities not to passively wait for housing choices to present themselves but to affirmatively further choice and inclusion in prime redevelopment such as in the Waterfront; and WHEREAS, the draft regulating plan for the Waterfront District allows fee in lieu of providing affordable units and does not set out a specific path for reaching the 20% affordable housing goal even though real estate development requires extensive advance planning; and WHEREAS, in the absence of a specific plan, there could be an avalanche of PUD applications with the Statesman PUD application (which offers only 4% of its units as affordable) being the harbinger of such a possible avalanche; and NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Austin Community Development Commission recommends to the City Council that: 1. The Waterfront District regulating plan specifically reserve enough district TIRZ funds to fill gaps in the development of housing units to meet the 20% affordable housing goal; 1 of 2 2. The regulating plan include a vehicle for active acquisition of land in the district where housing meeting the 20% affordable housing goal can be developed; 3. Avoid accepting fees in lieu of providing housing and emphasize including actual units that meet the 20% affordable housing goal; 4. Where an affordable housing overlay exists within the district, the incentives of that overlay be applied first so that half of the affordable housing goal is met under …
