Austin’s HOME initiative helps make aging in place possible
Many of us have loved ones that, as they get older, will have special needs to maintain their independence and lifestyle and stay healthy and safe. Having another home on your property allows families to stay close, but maintain their independence as they grow older.
What are the HOME initiatives?
Recent changes to the local development code, known as the HOME initiatives, have also opened up many beneficial options to facilitate aging in place needs, and we know how to effectively implement these to serve you and your family.

What's it mean for you?
There are now more and better options for creating multiple residences on one property, and far fewer restrictions on how these are sized and placed.
Almost all properties now allowed two residences per lot, and in many cases three. These homes can now be big or small, attached or detached, subdivided to be their own properties or kept on one parcel.
