BEE CAVE, Texas (KXAN) – The city of Bee Cave is taking steps towards providing more affordable housing to certain workers.
The Bee Cave City Council recently voted unanimously to move forward with a request for proposals for workforce housing developments, which could offer affordable housing opportunities to teachers, police officers, retail managers and other types of workers within Bee Cave.
“We have been researching workforce housing and visiting different beautiful developments over the last couple of years,” Bee Cave Mayor Kara King said in a press release. “Our residents know how valuable the workforce is to this community, and we are happy to take this next step in making sure the people who come to work in Bee Cave can also afford to live here.”
Bee Cave’s median sales price of a home is high compared to other nearby Central Texas Towns – the median sales price for a home in Bee Cave in February was $936,000, while in Austin, the median sales price was just over $500,000, according to Redfin.
The city said it wants proposals for workforce housing to emphasize the need for creative approaches to affordability, accessibility and sustainability while supporting growth.
