Cover of City of Austin's Anti-Displacement Tool
Austin voters approved a $300 million anti-displacement fund along with $1 billion for expansion of their transit system. Racial Equity Catalysts—community members with a depth of racial equity expertise borne of lived experience—were compensated to work with City staff to develop a Racial Equity Anti-Displacement Tool. The Tool used community priorities, data, and a root-cause historical analysis of racial inequities (a first for a City government project) to direct the first $20 million of anti-displacement funding through a Community Identified Solution Fund. Fourteen nonprofits received funding for renter stabilization programs, expanding and preserving homeownership opportunities, and a variety of other strategies to create community stability and self-determination in the face of displacement pressures.
