The City of Austin's Affordable Housing Forums, sponsored by the City of Austin Neighborhood Housing and Community Development (NHCD) office, will continue in a four-part series, "Linking Austin's Investments for a Sustainable Community." All forums will be located at the Street Jones Building, 1000 E. 11th St., 4th Floor.

This series of Affordable Housing Forums explores the intersection between housing and other vital factors contributing to Austin's quality of life.

The series will examine questions such as:

* How does affordable housing fit into the larger picture of Austin's vital public services?

* How can our limited subsidies be spent to maximize the benefits for Austin's low- and moderate-income populations?

* What do we prioritize as key components of affordable housing policies and planning as we continue with Austin's Comprehensive Planning process?

Forum No. 4: Linking Community Investments: Affordable Housing and Health

The last forum of the series focuses on the relationship between affordable housing and health. A set of panelists will discuss the linkages between affordable housing and public health, such as mitigating indoor environmental hazards, improving access to health care facilities, and reduction of negative health outcomes for residents of affordable housing.
