Austin Housing Authority faces opposition to 230 unit project
The Austin City Council may be asked to block a $4 million plus loan to the Austin Housing Authority for a 230 unit low rent program. The Austin Real Estate Board urged halting the plan to reserve materials for defense, citing new federal loan rules. The AHA announced plans for a 60 unit Latin-American development near Santa Rita, a 300 unit Negroes project in a Rosewood/Webberville/Thompson triangle named Oaklan Homes, and options on much of the Oaklan land.
