Dripping Springs city council supports workforce housing

Dripping Springs city officials have thrown their support behind two potential apartment complexes that have applied for federal tax credits to help create workforce housing.

Earlier this month, the Dripping Springs City Council approved resolutions in support of applications filed by the Western Springs and Merritt Headwaters developments for low-income housing tax credits from the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA). Both developments want to build apartment complexes within the Dripping Springs city limits.

Michelle Fischer, Dripping Springs City Administrator, said the resolutions are one step toward the possibility of offering more affordable housing options in the city.
