Austin’s $65 million bond measure for affordable housing prevailed by 60.4
percent, or 39,878 votes out of more than 66,000 cast, according to official results just released by the Travis County clerk’s office.
That outcome appeared all-but-certain on Tuesday night, with the votes tallied from most of Austin’s voting locations. But election officials were still counting votes from a few precincts in Williamson County.
The city plans to use the money to build, renovate and repair an estimated 2800 units of housing that will be rented or sold at below-market rates. Those units could include apartments, condos and single-family homes.
