Neighborhood Housing Summer Associate
 
 
 
The City of Austin is one of the fastest growing cities in the U.S. and it is also becoming an increasingly unaffordable place to live. The City’s Neighborhood Housing and Community Development Office (NHCD) is responsible for working inter-departmentally, inter-organizationally, with partners, and with the community to address Austin’s affordability challenges. Addressing these challenges will require creativity and collaboration.
