The Housing Authority of the City of Austin (HACA) has recently completed an effort to preserve and improve 1,816 units of public housing through conversion under RAD. HACA’s conversions have exemplified a residents-first approach, educating and empowering residents to actively participate in the RAD conversion and promote a robust Choice-Mobility option (i.e., the right to request a tenant-based voucher after a period of occupancy). The properties they have converted have undergone a mix of rehabilitation or complete redevelopment. Their final conversion blended the use of RAD and Section 18 towards the redevelopment of one of America’s oldest public housing properties, Chalmers Court.
