INTRODUCTION(Details on how to use this booklet and to find a home)
The Guide to Affordable Housing in the Greater Austin Area (GAHGAA) is a tool for people seekingaffordable rental housing in Austin and the surrounding communities. GAHGAA contains generalinformation on housing programs funded on the local, county, state, and federal levels, as well as specificinformation about complexes participating in these programs. It contains lists and explanations of rentalhousing with rent restrictions, income-based rents, and tenant income limits. GAHGAA only lists programswhich have project-based assistance; it does not provide information on voucher and certificate programs,temporary housing, or emergency rent payment assistance. It also excludes most duplex and single-familyrental dwellings.
Housing is arranged by geographical area, with the funding program and qualifying income level indicated inthe right-hand column. If you are looking for housing, first determine which income level you fall underusing the Income and Rent Guidelines. Then, look through the Apartment Lists for housing (the income levelis in the right-hand column). Once you find a place that may be suitable, call the management or go to thesite for a look. The management can tell you whether there are any vacancies, how to apply for an apartment,and whether they keep a waiting list. Management companies and phone numbers may change. If the phonenumber listed is incorrect, go to the complex and inquire at the on-site office (if there is one). To get moreinformation on a particular complex or its funding program, look up the program in the ProgramDescriptions, and call or write the organization listed.
The Program Descriptions in the back of the booklet explain how the programs work and what restrictionsare on the apartments. From the Income and Rent Guidelines, you can look up the actual dollar amount ofincome or rent limits, as well as check which income level you fall under. These income guidelines willchange from year to year, so if you are using this guide a year or more after printing, the income and rentlimits may be higher than what the charts say. Also, be prepared to show proof of your income whenapplying for any of the housing listed in this guide.
Not all of the listings in the guide could be verified, so possibly, some of the properties are no longer underthe programs cited. If you find a discrepancy in the information provided here, please contact the AustinTenants’ Council and inquire about updated information.
Please understand that there is a significant difference between apartments where the rents arebased on the tenants’ income and properties that may be called “affordable housing.” For many of the listedproperties, the developer received a tax credit in exchange for keeping the apartment below market rate butthe rent is not based on the tenants’ income. While waiting lists are generally long for apartments that baserent on income, we suggest getting on as many waiting lists as possible to increase your chances.
Good luck home hunting!

Introduction 4
INCOME AND RENT GUIDELINES
INCOME LEVEL EXPLANATION
Each of the rental property listings in this guide has an income level and program type noted in the“program” column. The income level indicates the maximum income a tenant can have to qualify forhousing under the program at that property. Keep in mind that not all of these programs offer a reduced rent.Some apartments merely have to maintain a certain percentage of tenants at a given income level. In otherwords, your income may qualify you for acceptance as a tenant in some complexes without guaranteeing youa lower than market rent. It all depends on the type of program the apartment complex participates in, so youalso need to pay close attention to the program type. To check the details of a particular program, read theProgram Descriptions on pages 46-49.
WHICH PROPERTIES DO I QUALIFY FOR?To determine your income level, there are two options. The first and usually the simplest is to compare yourannual income with the figures in the chart of HUD 2012 Area Median Family Incomes on page 6. Youshould figure out in which category your total household area income falls: 50 percent, 60 percent, 80percent, and 100 percent. Once you see where your income falls on the chart, compare that percentage of thearea median to the levels listed on this page. Make sure that you are looking at the correct figures for thenumber of people in your household and the area in which you are looking for housing.
The other way to determine your income level is to use the formula on page 6. The only reason to use theformula is if the median income in your area has changed since the printing of this book. If you are using thisguide many months after publication (October 2012), these median income amounts may be outdated.Updated area median incomes are available from the Austin Tenants’ Council or from your local housingauthority.
Level ATotal household income is 50% or less of the area median income.
Level BTotal household income is more than 50% but less than 60% of the area median income.
Level CTotal household income is more than 60% but less than 80% of the area median income.
Level DTotal household income is more than 80% but less than 100% of the area median income.
Once you see what level your income is in (A, B, C, or D), you can look through the housing list for placeswhich have that level noted in the right-hand column. These are properties for which you meet income limitqualifications, but this does not mean that you are guaranteed an apartment in the complex. You must checkwith the management of the apartments to determine if you meet other requirements they may have.

2012 AREA MEDIAN FAMILY INCOMES
6Income and Rent Guidelines
CALCULATING THE PERCENTAGE OF AN AREA MEDIAN INCOME:You can also determine your income level by using the following formula. As stated previously, theonly reason to use this formula is if the median incomes in your area have changed since the printingof this book. You should use updated area median incomes which are available from the AustinTenants’ Council or from your local housing authority.
Step 1: Determine the area where you want to live, the number of people that will be living in thethe household, and the gross annual income for all household members.
$(Area) (Number in Household) (Gross Annual Income)
Step 2: Using the household size and the area where you want to live, determine the Area MedianIncome from the chart above. Put your gross annual income from Step 1 and theArea Median Income into the formula below to determine your Percentage of Area Median.
$ ÷ $ x 100% =(Gross Annual Income) (Area Median Income) (Percentage of Area Median)
Step 3: You can now determine the Income Level by comparing your Percentage of Area Medianwith the Income Levels listed above. Remember, you not only qualify for your incomelevel, but also all higher income levels. For example, a person that qualifies for Income Level B (income less than 60 percent but above 50 percent of the area median income) also qualifiesfor Income Level C and Income Level D.

Note: Calculate the FMRs for units larger than 4 bedrooms by adding 15 percent to the 4-bedroom FMRfor each extra bedroom. For example, the FMR for a 5-bedroom unit is 1.15 times the 4-bedroom FMRand the FMR for a 6-bedroom unit is 1.30 times the 4-bedroom FMR.
2012 MAXIMUM RENTS:LOW INCOME HOUSING TAX CREDIT PROGRAM
Affordable housing programs subsidized by HUD and/or public housing authorities base the rent on thetenant’s income. For example in a senior housing HUD 202 apartment community, the maximum rentcharged is 30% of income including the utilities. A Section 8 voucher works the same way but providesthe tenant with a choice of apartment communities. The voucher assures the landlord that the governmentwill pay the difference between the Fair Market Rent charged and what the tenant is determined to paybased on 30% of their income (rent/utilities).While most publicly subsidized housing is designed to assist the elderly, disabled, minimum wageworkers or the unemployed, the housing tax credit program does not provide tenants with governmentalrent subsidies. It provides equity to build the development which allows the developer to charge lowerrents to the tenants. The program's rent and income levels vary from county to county. The charts aboveare the maximum amount of rent that a tax credit apartment can charge for it’s designated units.

The Fair Housing Act addresses the unique way the built environment can discriminate against people with disabilities. The Act
seeks to remedy this with provisions that reduce barriers to persons with disabilities in their efforts to secure, use, and fully enjoy housing.
The Fair Housing Act design and construction requirements apply to covered multifamily dwell-ings built for first occupancy after March 13, 1991. Covered multifamily dwellings include:
• All dwelling units in buildings containing four or more dwelling units if the buildings have one or more elevators AND
• All ground floor units in other buildings con-taining four or more units, without an elevator.
To be in compliance with the Fair Housing Act, there are seven basic design and construction re-quirements that must be met. These requirements are:
Requirement 1. An accessible building entrance on an accessible route. All covered multifam-ily dwellings must have at least one accessible building entrance on an accessible route unless it is impractical to do so because of the terrain or unusual characteristics of the site.
• An accessible route means a continuous, unobstructed path connecting accessible ele-ments and spaces within a building or site that can be negotiated by a person with a disability who uses a wheelchair, and that is also safe for and usable by people with other disabilities.
• An accessible entrance is a building entrance connected by an accessible route to public transit stops, accessible parking and passenger loading zones, or public streets and sidewalks.
Requirement 2. Accessible public and common use areas. Covered housing must have accessible and usable public and common-use areas. Public and common-use areas cover all parts of the hous-ing outside individual units. They include — for example — building-wide fire alarms, parking lots, storage areas, indoor and outdoor recreational areas, lobbies, mailrooms and mailboxes, and laundry areas.
Requirement 3. Usable doors (usable by a person in a wheelchair). All doors that allow passage into and within all premises must be wide enough to allow passage by persons using wheelchairs.
Requirement 4. Accessible route into and through the dwelling unit. There must be an ac-cessible route into and through each covered unit.
Requirement 5. Light switches, electrical outlets, thermostats and other environmental controls in accessible locations.
Requirement 6. Reinforced walls in bathrooms for later installation of grab bars. Reinforcements in bathroom walls must be installed, so that grab bars can be added when needed. The law does not require installation of grab bars in bathrooms.
Requirement 7. Usable kitchens and bathrooms. Kitchens and bathrooms must be usable —that is, designed and constructed so an individual in a wheelchair can maneuver in the space provided.
Fair housing laws give both tenants and applicants who have disabilities the right to request permis-sion to make, or request the landlord to provide, reasonable modifications to the structure of the rental unit or the common areas. For more infor-mation, contact the ATC Fair Housing Program at 512-474-7007.

Since June 1, 2011, all multi-family proper-ties are obligated to complete an energy audit and they must display the results of
the energy audit in a common area so current and prospective tenants have the opportunity to re-view what energy efficiency measures are needed or have already been installed in the apartment buildings.
The disclosure document includes the following energy efficiency measures:
• Average leakage in the air duct system (Austin Energy Recommendation: less than 15% or 10%, depending on the type of duct system);
• Attic or roof insulation (Austin Energy recom-mendation: R22 to R30 or 10 inches to 16 inches);
• Solar screens or window film (Austin Energy recommendation: on east-, south-, and west-facing windows).
Austin Energy has proposed that at the time a pro-spective tenant is given a rental application, the landlord must also provide written notice of the property’s average energy usage per square foot. The notice must state:
This apartment community has a [lower/higher] than average energy usage per square foot for multi-family properties in the Austin service area. The facility’s average energy use is [x] percent [lower/higher] than comparable apartment communities built between [year] and [year] with [gas and electric/all electric] utilities. A full copy of the energy audit is avail-able for your inspection upon request.
The landlord must ask the applicant to sign an acknowledgement indicating that notice of the energy audit results were provided. There are four
forms that a tenant should be aware of at a multi-family property:
1. Multifamily Energy Audit Data;2. Energy Audit Results;3. Energy Guide; and4. Notice of High Energy Use Property.
The Austin Tenants’ Council and Texas ROSE worked extensively on this issue.
Texas ROSE is a non-profit membership organiza-tion that represents residential and low-income consumers to promote energy efficiency and fair utility programs. It is the only public interest group in Texas dedicated to providing straightforward, plain language information; representation before the Public Utility Commission of Texas; advocacy for low-income consumers; education; and train-ing. Operating since 1992, Texas ROSE has hun-dreds of members operating throughout the state.
Utility Costs
The cost of utility bills can make the difference be-tween having an affordable apartment or not. Do not overlook this important part of your housing costs. In Austin, the rental office is required by law to provide you with a report on energy use in the apartment complex. Before you write a check to process your rental application, be sure to review the information.
• A “Notice of High Energy Use” means you will likely have high electric bills. It would be wise to look for other options.
• The “Energy Guide for Prospective Renters” shows you how the utility bills for that apart-ment complex compare to the average for all apartments. Below average is better than above average.
Saving Money on Utilities 41
ave Money on Utilitie$ $
• A “Notice of Exemption” means the property is new and meets the energy code or has had major energy efficiency improvements. An exempt property should have lower than aver-age electric bills and should be a good choice from an energy perspective.
Choosing an Apartment
Many conditions affect our utility bills. One impor-tant condition is the location of the unit in relation to the sun.
• Ideally, an apartment facing north or south will use less electricity than a unit facing east or west, because it will not be as affected by the intense afternoon sun.
• Ask about the age of the appliances in the unit and if they are Energy Star-rated. Newer appli-ances use less energy than older appliances, and Energy Star-rated appliances use less than other models being sold.
• A unit that has both gas and electric should have lower utility costs than the same apart-ment that is all electric.
To Lower Your Utility Costs
• Initially set your thermostat at 78º in summer and 68º in winter and adjust the settings to meet your needs from there. A degree of ther-mostat setting can increase (or decrease) your bill by 3% to 5%.
• Ask your landlord to replace dirty air filters and clean the refrigerator coils.
• Replace standard light bulbs with compact fluorescent bulbs and turn lights off when they are not in use.
• If you buy an appliance or room air condi-
tioner, check the energy guide label. Take into account the long-term cost of operating it as well as the initial purchase price.
• Use blinds and curtains to let the heat in when it’s cold outside and keep the heat out when it’s hot.
Choosing an Electric Provider
Some Central Texans live in areas where electricity is deregulated and can choose an electric provid-er. When shopping for an electric provider find out how long the rate will be in effect. Promotional rates may change on the next meter reading date which could be only one or two days depending on the meter reading schedule.
Check all electricity terms of service agreements for hidden fees.
Think twice before taking a prepaid electric ser-vice plan. There is no guarantee that you will have electricity for the whole month. Any time your account runs out of money-even when you are waiting for a check-you will be disconnected with as little notice as one day. There is no limit on the number of times you can be disconnected.

1. WHAT ARE BEDBUGS?• Common bedbugs (Cimex lectulari-
us), also known by the name“chinch“chinch“ -es” in Texas,Texas,T are wingless insects thatfeed on blood.They appear straw-colored and the size of a pin headwhen newly hatched and grow toapproximately 3/16-inches in lengthwith oval, flat, and reddish-brownbodies during adulthood.
• They prefer human blood and areprimarily active at night so they tendto live near where people sleep.
• Research shows that bedbugs are notknown to carry or transmit diseases.
2. DETECTION OF BEDBUGS• Look in their common hiding places
such as mattresses and box springs,joints in head and footboards, bedframes, and the crevice behind thebaseboard.
3. TREATMENT• Professional, reputable pest control
companies with experience treatingbedbug infestations should be con-sulted forforf insecticide treatment.TypiTypiT -cally, multiple treatments are neces-sary to eliminate the infestation.
• Along with professional pest control,thorough regular cleaning of infestedareas is necessary.Carpets shouldbe vacuumed and baseboards, edg-es of carpeting, mattress and boxsprings, and furniture crevices shouldbe vacuumed using the brush attach-ment to dislodge bugs and their eggsfrom hiding places.After vacuum-
ing, the vacuum should be immedi-ately emptied and bags be sealedcompletely.Bed linens and clothingcarrying bedbugs or eggs should belaundered above 120°F.
• Treating mattresses and box springsis sometimes possible.There are cov-ers that encase the mattress and boxspring eventually killing the bedbugsinside.A professional pest controlcompany should be consulted to rec-ommend the best option.
• DO NOT attempt to treat with pesti-cides on your own.This may causethe bedbugs to spread and becomemore difficult to manage.
4. TENANT RIGHTS• The standard repair process should
be followed to request treatmentfor bedbugs.Please consult AustinTenants’Council’s brochure, “Repairs:The Tenant’sTenant’sT Right and the Landlord’sDuty” for more information.
• Always allow a professional pestcontrol company access to your unitfor treatment.Without having ac-cess, the problem cannot be solved.Denying entry could be a violation ofyour lease agreement.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTIONS1. Rental Housing Development Assistance (RHDA)The Rental Housing Development Assistance (RHDA) program provides opportunities to create and retainaffordable rental units for low- and moderate-income households and low-income persons with disabilities.RHDA provides below-market-rate financing to developers including nonprofit and Community HousingDevelopment Organizations (CHDOs) for the acquisition, new construction, or rehabilitation of affordablerental projects. RHDA serves households at or below 50% of Median Family Income with a target of servinghouseholds at or below 30% MFI.
The S.M.A.R.T. (Safe, Mixed-Income, Accessible, Reasonably-priced, Transit-Oriented) Housing PolicyInitiative is designed to stimulate the production of housing for low- and moderate-income residents ofAustin. The housing meets the City’s Green Building standards and is located in neighborhoods throughoutthe City of Austin.
S.M.A.R.T. Housing staff work with developers and builders of single-family, multifamily, and mixed-usedevelopments that meet S.M.A.R.T. Housing standards. The City of Austin provides fee waivers and S.M.A.R.T. Housing development review, typically significantly faster than conventional review. This initiativeincludes not only larger developments but also infill construction.

2. Austin Housing Finance Corporation (AHFC) Multi-family Bond ProgramThe Austin Housing Finance Corporation (AHFC) administers the Multifamily Bond Program that providesbelow-market interest rate financing for the acquisition and rehabilitation or the new construction ofapartment communities. Funding is provided through the sale and issuance of tax-exempt multifamilyconduit bonds, which provide the equity investment for a potential affordable housing development. Federallaw requires in part that for the bonds to retain tax-exempt status, at least 20% of the units financed must beleased to households earning at or below 50% of MFI; or 40% of the units must be leased to householdsearning incomes at or below 60% of MFI.
Private developers have two options when applying for bonds through AHFC. The first option is to apply forPrivate Activity Bonds, which are combined with 4% Housing Tax Credits issued by the Texas Departmentof Housing and Community Affairs. The Texas Bond Review Board determines the schedule by which thesePrivate Activity Bonds are allocated. The second option is to apply for bonds without the need for privateactivity bond authority or the use of Housing Tax Credits. Those bonds are 501(c)(3) bonds and are alsoawarded throughout the year. AHFC manages the application process to secure these funds.
The Austin Housing Finance Corporation is also responsible for distributing General Obligation (GO) Bonds.

3. Travis County Housing Finance Corporation (TCHFC) Multifamily Housing Bond ProgramThe Travis County Housing Finance Corporation provides bond financing at advantageous interest rates forthe development of housing that serves a public purpose in exchange for an agreement on the part of thedevelopers to designate a percentage of their units for low or moderate income tenants. The standardagreement calls for 20% of the units to be set aside for tenants with incomes not exceeding 50% of the areamedian family income and 90% of the units to be set aside for tenants with incomes not exceeding 120% ofthe area median family income.! However, these are minimums required by the IRS, and the HFC mayrequire further affordability, which can vary from property to property.
The set-aside obligation is in effect until the finance bond is paid off or until the land use agreement expires.The payment schedule is generally for 30 to 40 years, but the developer may pay off the bond early, and theaffordability of the property is held in place by the land use agreement(s).

4. HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME)HOME is a federal grant program that allocates funds to state and local governments for the development oflow-income, affordable housing. The state and local governments then set up individual housingdevelopment programs for distribution of the money.
Affordable housing is achieved through acquisition, rehabilitation, or construction. HOME requires thatdevelopers invest at least 90% of the funds in units occupied by families whose incomes do not exceed 60%of the median family income for the area and must invest the remaining funds (up to 10%) in units occupiedby families whose income do not exceed 80% of the median income. In addition, each rental project mustmeet the following affordability requirement: have rents at or below the lesser of either the existing FairMarket Rent or 30% of the adjusted income of a family whose income equals 65% of the median income forthe area. Rehabilitation projects must remain affordable for 5 to 10 years, and new construction projects mustremain affordable for 20 years. Projects of three or more units must have at least 20% of the units occupiedby very low-income families, paying no more than 30% of monthly adjusted gross income for rent, orbearing rents not greater than 30% of the gross income of a family whose income equals 50% of the medianincome for the area.

5. Low-Income Housing Tax Credit ProgramThe Texas Department of Housing & Community Affairs (TDHCA) monitors a federal tax credit programfor the development and rehabilitation of housing complexes. Developers set aside a portion of their rentalunits for low-income tenants in exchange for tax credits on those units. The developer must provide either20% or more of the units for individuals whose income is not more than 50% of the median gross income forthe area or provide 40% or more of the units for individuals whose income is not more than 60% of themedian gross income for the area. In addition, all of the designated units have a rent restriction. The rentcannot be more than 30% of the income limitation applicable to the unit, including a utilities allowance. Seethe chart on Page 7 for the maximum rents allowable for these units.
The apartment owners are allotted a certain number of tax credit units, but they may choose to use only aportion of the credits each year. Thus, the number of low-income units at these complexes may fluctuatefrom year to year. However, the owners must maintain the minimum 20% or 40% of the units with incomelimitations or receive penalties for noncompliance. The tax credits may be claimed for up to 10 years and thecompliance period is for at least 15 years from the first taxable year of the credit period. This program beganin 1987. Depending on when a property entered the program, restrictive terms to keep the property in theprogram upon transfer of ownership may be in effect.
6. Texas Housing Trust FundThe Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs runs the Texas Housing Trust Fund to provideloans and grants to finance, acquire, rehabilitate, and develop decent and safe affordable housing for low-income Texans. The Housing Trust Fund administers various single-family programs and also provides fundsfor programs administered by other TDHCA Divisions, including the Homeless Housing and Rapid ServicesProgram and Bootstrap Self-Help Housing. All Housing Trust Fund Programs are implemented only througheligible non-profits, for-profits, public housing authorities and local governments that have executed aHousing Trust Fund contract or agreement.

7. USDA Rural Housing Service (RHS)The Rural Housing Service (RHS) is an agency of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). RHSfinances the development of multifamily housing in rural areas in exchange for an agreement by thedeveloper to provide housing for very-low, low, and moderate income families or for elderly and disabledpeople. Loans are primarily made to build, purchase, or repair apartment-style housing.
RHS-financed apartment complexes give rental priority to very-low income tenants and then to low-incometenants. Some of these apartment complexes are designated specifically for elderly and disabled tenants.Very low income is defined as 50% of the area median income and low-income is 80% of the area medianincome. Each county’s median income is based on the most recent Census, and RHS uses these figures todetermine the income caps for tenants.
In addition, many of the complexes have rental assistance tied to some or all of their units. This rentalassistance is a subsidy paid to the complex owner by RHS, guaranteeing that tenants will not have to paymore than 30% of their adjusted income for rent. Prospective tenants should inquire at the individual RHScomplexes to find out whether that complex has rental assistance available. For more information, contactthe RHS office in Georgetown at (512) 863-6502, Ext. 4 or on the Internet at www.rurdev.usda.gov/tx

8. Public Housing & Other Federally Funded HousingPublic housing is funded by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) but owned and/ormanaged by local housing authorities. Prospective tenants should inquire about the application procedure atthe local housing authority. Section 8 housing is federally subsidized but privately owned housing. Project-based Section 8 and its counterparts for the elderly and disabled are programs whereby a complex receivesfederal funding in exchange for providing housing to lower income tenants at affordable rents.
Unfortunately, these apartments typically have waiting lists that are 12-18 months long so tenants shouldapply as soon as possible. Rents at these complexes may not exceed Fair Market Rents set by HUD and thetenant must pay only 30% of their adjusted income towards that rent (except elderly and some disabled units,for which HUD pays 100% of the rent to the landlord). The tenant receives a deduction for each child under18 or enrolled in school full time (currently $480), one deduction for elderly or disabled members of ahousehold (currently $400), and deductions for some medical expenses. The difference between the tenant’sshare of the rent and the Fair Market Rent is paid to the landlord by HUD. For public housing and Section 8,the tenants’ household incomes may not exceed 50% of the area median income.
Several other HUD programs provide financing and subsidies for low income housing: Section 202 is a directloan and rent subsidy program for elderly housing, Section 236 is a mortgage payment subsidy program forlow income housing, and Section 221(d)(3) is a mortgage insurance program for low income housing.Section 811 provides supportive housing for persons with disabilities. Most of these programs also follow thesame income and rent guidelines as Section 8, though there are some variations. For example, some housingprojects have income guidelines of both 80% and 50% of the area median income. There are often waitinglists of several years to get housing under any of these programs, and it is likely that future funding cuts willboth further reduce the available units and change the income and rent guidelines.
