At Monday’s City Council meeting, City staff provided a look at trends affecting housing affordability in North Texas and gave an overview of various approaches to address housing issues. The briefing was in line with a 2023-25 City Council Goal tactic to “explore opportunities for federal and state housing grants” and served as a kick-off for potential next steps, including for the City to conduct a Housing Needs Assessment to better understand Richardson’s housing challenges and opportunities.   

The City Council is considering including such an assessment in the FY25 budget development process. If approved, the assessment would take approximately six months to complete.
