Kyle attempts to balance housing market

As more people move to Hays County, the issue of housing for all is a topic cities are battling, with each municipality subscribing to different plans to balance the market.

Kyle and San Marcos are the only cities within the county with local housing authorities working to manage and regulate low-rent, subsidized properties in their respective cities. Otherwise, subsidized low-income and affordable or workforce housing projects are passed through city governments on a case-by-case basis.

The need for subsidized affordable housing, such as Section 8 housing and workforce housing over unsubsidized alternatives, is debated, leaving the future of the housing market to be determined.
